Multiples of 581 are all integers divisible by 581 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 581 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 581. The smallest multiples of 581 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 581 since 0 × 581 = 0
581 : in fact, 581 is a multiple of itself, since 581 is divisible by 581 (it was 581 / 581 = 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 581, the answer is: No, 581 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 581). 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 24.104 ). 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.
