16231is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 16231 are all the numbers between -16231 and 16231 , which divide 16231 without leaving any remainder. Since 16231 divided by -16231 is an integer, -16231 is a factor of 16231 .
Since 16231 divided by -16231 is a whole number, -16231 is a factor of 16231
Since 16231 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 16231
Since 16231 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 16231
Multiples of 16231 are all integers divisible by 16231 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 16231 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 16231. The smallest multiples of 16231 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 16231 since 0 × 16231 = 0
16231 : in fact, 16231 is a multiple of itself, since 16231 is divisible by 16231 (it was 16231 / 16231 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
32462: in fact, 32462 = 16231 × 2
48693: in fact, 48693 = 16231 × 3
64924: in fact, 64924 = 16231 × 4
81155: in fact, 81155 = 16231 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 16231, the answer is: yes, 16231 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (16231).
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 16231). 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 127.401 ). 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.
