Multiples of 138 are all integers divisible by 138 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 138 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 138. The smallest multiples of 138 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 138 since 0 × 138 = 0
138 : in fact, 138 is a multiple of itself, since 138 is divisible by 138 (it was 138 / 138 = 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 138, the answer is: No, 138 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 138). 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 11.747 ). 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.
