Multiples of 766 are all integers divisible by 766 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 766 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 766. The smallest multiples of 766 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 766 since 0 × 766 = 0
766 : in fact, 766 is a multiple of itself, since 766 is divisible by 766 (it was 766 / 766 = 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 766, the answer is: No, 766 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 766). 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 27.677 ). 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.
