Multiples of 388 are all integers divisible by 388 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 388 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 388. The smallest multiples of 388 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 388 since 0 × 388 = 0
388 : in fact, 388 is a multiple of itself, since 388 is divisible by 388 (it was 388 / 388 = 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 388, the answer is: No, 388 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 388). 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 19.698 ). 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.
