11801is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 11801 are all the numbers between -11801 and 11801 , which divide 11801 without leaving any remainder. Since 11801 divided by -11801 is an integer, -11801 is a factor of 11801 .
Since 11801 divided by -11801 is a whole number, -11801 is a factor of 11801
Since 11801 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 11801
Since 11801 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 11801
Multiples of 11801 are all integers divisible by 11801 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 11801 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 11801. The smallest multiples of 11801 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 11801 since 0 × 11801 = 0
11801 : in fact, 11801 is a multiple of itself, since 11801 is divisible by 11801 (it was 11801 / 11801 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
23602: in fact, 23602 = 11801 × 2
35403: in fact, 35403 = 11801 × 3
47204: in fact, 47204 = 11801 × 4
59005: in fact, 59005 = 11801 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 11801, the answer is: yes, 11801 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (11801).
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 11801). 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 108.632 ). 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.
