Multiples of 356 are all integers divisible by 356 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 356 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 356. The smallest multiples of 356 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 356 since 0 × 356 = 0
356 : in fact, 356 is a multiple of itself, since 356 is divisible by 356 (it was 356 / 356 = 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 356, the answer is: No, 356 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 356). 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 18.868 ). 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.
