Multiples of 562 are all integers divisible by 562 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 562 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 562. The smallest multiples of 562 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 562 since 0 × 562 = 0
562 : in fact, 562 is a multiple of itself, since 562 is divisible by 562 (it was 562 / 562 = 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 562, the answer is: No, 562 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 562). 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 23.707 ). 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.
