Multiples of 343 are all integers divisible by 343 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 343 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 343. The smallest multiples of 343 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 343 since 0 × 343 = 0
343 : in fact, 343 is a multiple of itself, since 343 is divisible by 343 (it was 343 / 343 = 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 343, the answer is: No, 343 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 343). 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 18.52 ). 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.
