1259is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 1259 are all the numbers between -1259 and 1259 , which divide 1259 without leaving any remainder. Since 1259 divided by -1259 is an integer, -1259 is a factor of 1259 .
Since 1259 divided by -1259 is a whole number, -1259 is a factor of 1259
Since 1259 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1259
Since 1259 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1259
Multiples of 1259 are all integers divisible by 1259 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1259 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1259. The smallest multiples of 1259 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1259 since 0 × 1259 = 0
1259 : in fact, 1259 is a multiple of itself, since 1259 is divisible by 1259 (it was 1259 / 1259 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
2518: in fact, 2518 = 1259 × 2
3777: in fact, 3777 = 1259 × 3
5036: in fact, 5036 = 1259 × 4
6295: in fact, 6295 = 1259 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1259, the answer is: yes, 1259 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1259).
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 1259). 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 35.482 ). 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.
