What are the multiples of 53?
Multiples of 53 are all integers divisible by 53 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 53 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 53. The smallest multiples of 53 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 53 since 0 × 53 = 0
53 : in fact, 53 is a multiple of itself, since 53 is divisible by 53 (it was 53 / 53 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
Is 53 a prime number?
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 53, the answer is: yes, 53 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (53).
How do you determine if a number is prime?
To know the primality of an integer, we can use several algorithms. The most naive is to try all divisors below the number you want to know if it is prime (in our case 53). We can already eliminate even numbers bigger than 2 (then 4 , 6 , 8 ...). Besides, we can stop at the square root of the number in question (here 7.28 ). Historically, the Eratosthenes screen (which dates back to Antiquity) uses this technique relatively effectively.
More modern techniques include the Atkin screen, probabilistic tests, or the cyclotomic test.
