Multiples of 358 are all integers divisible by 358 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 358 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 358. The smallest multiples of 358 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 358 since 0 × 358 = 0
358 : in fact, 358 is a multiple of itself, since 358 is divisible by 358 (it was 358 / 358 = 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 358, the answer is: No, 358 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 358). 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 18.921 ). 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.
