Multiples of 531 are all integers divisible by 531 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 531 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 531. The smallest multiples of 531 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 531 since 0 × 531 = 0
531 : in fact, 531 is a multiple of itself, since 531 is divisible by 531 (it was 531 / 531 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 531, the answer is: No, 531 is not a prime number.
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 531). 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 23.043 ). 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.
