Multiples of 788 are all integers divisible by 788 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 788 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 788. The smallest multiples of 788 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 788 since 0 × 788 = 0
788 : in fact, 788 is a multiple of itself, since 788 is divisible by 788 (it was 788 / 788 = 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 788, the answer is: No, 788 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 788). 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 28.071 ). 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.
