Multiples of 898 are all integers divisible by 898 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 898 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 898. The smallest multiples of 898 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 898 since 0 × 898 = 0
898 : in fact, 898 is a multiple of itself, since 898 is divisible by 898 (it was 898 / 898 = 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 898, the answer is: No, 898 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 898). 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 29.967 ). 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.
