151is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 151 are all the numbers between -151 and 151 , which divide 151 without leaving any remainder. Since 151 divided by -151 is an integer, -151 is a factor of 151 .
Since 151 divided by -151 is a whole number, -151 is a factor of 151
Since 151 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 151
Since 151 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 151
Multiples of 151 are all integers divisible by 151 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 151 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 151. The smallest multiples of 151 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 151 since 0 × 151 = 0
151 : in fact, 151 is a multiple of itself, since 151 is divisible by 151 (it was 151 / 151 = 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 151, the answer is: yes, 151 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (151).
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 151). 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 12.288 ). 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.
