Multiples of 734 are all integers divisible by 734 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 734 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 734. The smallest multiples of 734 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 734 since 0 × 734 = 0
734 : in fact, 734 is a multiple of itself, since 734 is divisible by 734 (it was 734 / 734 = 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 734, the answer is: No, 734 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 734). 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 27.092 ). 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.
