Multiples of 679 are all integers divisible by 679 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 679 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 679. The smallest multiples of 679 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 679 since 0 × 679 = 0
679 : in fact, 679 is a multiple of itself, since 679 is divisible by 679 (it was 679 / 679 = 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 679, the answer is: No, 679 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 679). 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 26.058 ). 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.
