10601is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 10601 are all the numbers between -10601 and 10601 , which divide 10601 without leaving any remainder. Since 10601 divided by -10601 is an integer, -10601 is a factor of 10601 .
Since 10601 divided by -10601 is a whole number, -10601 is a factor of 10601
Since 10601 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 10601
Since 10601 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 10601
Multiples of 10601 are all integers divisible by 10601 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 10601 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 10601. The smallest multiples of 10601 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 10601 since 0 × 10601 = 0
10601 : in fact, 10601 is a multiple of itself, since 10601 is divisible by 10601 (it was 10601 / 10601 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
21202: in fact, 21202 = 10601 × 2
31803: in fact, 31803 = 10601 × 3
42404: in fact, 42404 = 10601 × 4
53005: in fact, 53005 = 10601 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 10601, the answer is: yes, 10601 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (10601).
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 10601). 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 102.961 ). 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.
