1297is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 1297 are all the numbers between -1297 and 1297 , which divide 1297 without leaving any remainder. Since 1297 divided by -1297 is an integer, -1297 is a factor of 1297 .
Since 1297 divided by -1297 is a whole number, -1297 is a factor of 1297
Since 1297 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1297
Since 1297 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1297
Multiples of 1297 are all integers divisible by 1297 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1297 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1297. The smallest multiples of 1297 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1297 since 0 × 1297 = 0
1297 : in fact, 1297 is a multiple of itself, since 1297 is divisible by 1297 (it was 1297 / 1297 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
2594: in fact, 2594 = 1297 × 2
3891: in fact, 3891 = 1297 × 3
5188: in fact, 5188 = 1297 × 4
6485: in fact, 6485 = 1297 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1297, the answer is: yes, 1297 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1297).
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 1297). 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 36.014 ). 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.
