Multiples of 6221 are all integers divisible by 6221 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 6221 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 6221. The smallest multiples of 6221 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 6221 since 0 × 6221 = 0
6221 : in fact, 6221 is a multiple of itself, since 6221 is divisible by 6221 (it was 6221 / 6221 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
12442: in fact, 12442 = 6221 × 2
18663: in fact, 18663 = 6221 × 3
24884: in fact, 24884 = 6221 × 4
31105: in fact, 31105 = 6221 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 6221, the answer is: yes, 6221 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (6221).
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 6221). 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 78.873 ). 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.
