Multiples of 568 are all integers divisible by 568 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 568 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 568. The smallest multiples of 568 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 568 since 0 × 568 = 0
568 : in fact, 568 is a multiple of itself, since 568 is divisible by 568 (it was 568 / 568 = 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 568, the answer is: No, 568 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 568). 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 23.833 ). 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.
