Multiples of 786 are all integers divisible by 786 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 786 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 786. The smallest multiples of 786 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 786 since 0 × 786 = 0
786 : in fact, 786 is a multiple of itself, since 786 is divisible by 786 (it was 786 / 786 = 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 786, the answer is: No, 786 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 786). 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 28.036 ). 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.
