Multiples of 678 are all integers divisible by 678 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 678 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 678. The smallest multiples of 678 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 678 since 0 × 678 = 0
678 : in fact, 678 is a multiple of itself, since 678 is divisible by 678 (it was 678 / 678 = 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 678, the answer is: No, 678 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 678). 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 26.038 ). 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.
