In addition we can say of the number 1238 that it is even
1238 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 1238/2 = 619
The factors for 1238 are all the numbers between -1238 and 1238 , which divide 1238 without leaving any remainder. Since 1238 divided by -1238 is an integer, -1238 is a factor of 1238 .
Since 1238 divided by -1238 is a whole number, -1238 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by -619 is a whole number, -619 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 1238
Since 1238 divided by 619 is a whole number, 619 is a factor of 1238

etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1238, the answer is: No, 1238 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 1238). 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 35.185 ). 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.
