1291is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 1291 are all the numbers between -1291 and 1291 , which divide 1291 without leaving any remainder. Since 1291 divided by -1291 is an integer, -1291 is a factor of 1291 .
Since 1291 divided by -1291 is a whole number, -1291 is a factor of 1291
Since 1291 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1291
Since 1291 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1291
Multiples of 1291 are all integers divisible by 1291 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1291 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1291. The smallest multiples of 1291 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1291 since 0 × 1291 = 0
1291 : in fact, 1291 is a multiple of itself, since 1291 is divisible by 1291 (it was 1291 / 1291 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
2582: in fact, 2582 = 1291 × 2
3873: in fact, 3873 = 1291 × 3
5164: in fact, 5164 = 1291 × 4
6455: in fact, 6455 = 1291 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1291, the answer is: yes, 1291 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1291).
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 1291). 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 35.93 ). 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.
