141is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 141 are all the numbers between -141 and 141 , which divide 141 without leaving any remainder. Since 141 divided by -141 is an integer, -141 is a factor of 141 .
Since 141 divided by -141 is a whole number, -141 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by -47 is a whole number, -47 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 141
Since 141 divided by 47 is a whole number, 47 is a factor of 141
Multiples of 141 are all integers divisible by 141 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 141 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 141. The smallest multiples of 141 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 141 since 0 × 141 = 0
141 : in fact, 141 is a multiple of itself, since 141 is divisible by 141 (it was 141 / 141 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 141, the answer is: No, 141 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 141). 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 11.874 ). 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.
