In addition we can say of the number 166 that it is even
166 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 166/2 = 83
The factors for 166 are all the numbers between -166 and 166 , which divide 166 without leaving any remainder. Since 166 divided by -166 is an integer, -166 is a factor of 166 .
Since 166 divided by -166 is a whole number, -166 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by -83 is a whole number, -83 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 166
Since 166 divided by 83 is a whole number, 83 is a factor of 166
Multiples of 166 are all integers divisible by 166 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 166 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 166. The smallest multiples of 166 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 166 since 0 × 166 = 0
166 : in fact, 166 is a multiple of itself, since 166 is divisible by 166 (it was 166 / 166 = 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 166, the answer is: No, 166 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 166). 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 12.884 ). 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.
