Multiples of 655 are all integers divisible by 655 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 655 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 655. The smallest multiples of 655 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 655 since 0 × 655 = 0
655 : in fact, 655 is a multiple of itself, since 655 is divisible by 655 (it was 655 / 655 = 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 655, the answer is: No, 655 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 655). 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 25.593 ). 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.
