Multiples of 905 are all integers divisible by 905 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 905 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 905. The smallest multiples of 905 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 905 since 0 × 905 = 0
905 : in fact, 905 is a multiple of itself, since 905 is divisible by 905 (it was 905 / 905 = 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 905, the answer is: No, 905 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 905). 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 30.083 ). 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.
