Multiples of 428 are all integers divisible by 428 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 428 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 428. The smallest multiples of 428 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 428 since 0 × 428 = 0
428 : in fact, 428 is a multiple of itself, since 428 is divisible by 428 (it was 428 / 428 = 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 428, the answer is: No, 428 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 428). 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 20.688 ). 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.
