Abstract: We continue the research of an extension $widetildemid$ of the divisibility relation to the Stone-v Cech compactification $$. First we prove that ultrafilters we call prime actually possess the algebraic property of primality. Several questions concerning the connection between divisibilities in $$ and nonstandard extensions of $N$ are answered, providing a few more equivalent conditions for divisibility in $$. Results on uncountable chains in $$ are proved and used in a construction of a well-ordered chain of maximal cardinality. Finally, we consider ultrafilters without divisors in $N$ and among them find the maximal class.
