Is there a smallest possible amount of energy? Like, one where all energy quantities in the universe are a multiple of it and the only way to have less energy is to have none at all? If a photon had that energy, it would be the longest possible EMR wavelength. Or can energy be divided infinitely? Further, if the former, what is the number if you know it (any unit).

As far as we know, there is not.
