Multiples of 597 are all integers divisible by 597 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 597 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 597. The smallest multiples of 597 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 597 since 0 × 597 = 0
597 : in fact, 597 is a multiple of itself, since 597 is divisible by 597 (it was 597 / 597 = 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 597, the answer is: No, 597 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 597). 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 24.434 ). 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.
