Multiples of 737 are all integers divisible by 737 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 737 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 737. The smallest multiples of 737 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 737 since 0 × 737 = 0
737 : in fact, 737 is a multiple of itself, since 737 is divisible by 737 (it was 737 / 737 = 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 737, the answer is: No, 737 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 737). 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 27.148 ). 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.
