Multiples of 186 are all integers divisible by 186 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 186 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 186. The smallest multiples of 186 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 186 since 0 × 186 = 0
186 : in fact, 186 is a multiple of itself, since 186 is divisible by 186 (it was 186 / 186 = 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 186, the answer is: No, 186 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 186). 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 13.638 ). 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.
