1511is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 1511 are all the numbers between -1511 and 1511 , which divide 1511 without leaving any remainder. Since 1511 divided by -1511 is an integer, -1511 is a factor of 1511 .
Since 1511 divided by -1511 is a whole number, -1511 is a factor of 1511
Since 1511 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1511
Since 1511 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1511
Multiples of 1511 are all integers divisible by 1511 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1511 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1511. The smallest multiples of 1511 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1511 since 0 × 1511 = 0
1511 : in fact, 1511 is a multiple of itself, since 1511 is divisible by 1511 (it was 1511 / 1511 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
3022: in fact, 3022 = 1511 × 2
4533: in fact, 4533 = 1511 × 3
6044: in fact, 6044 = 1511 × 4
7555: in fact, 7555 = 1511 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1511, the answer is: yes, 1511 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1511).
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 1511). 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 38.872 ). 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.
