17231is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 17231 are all the numbers between -17231 and 17231 , which divide 17231 without leaving any remainder. Since 17231 divided by -17231 is an integer, -17231 is a factor of 17231 .
Since 17231 divided by -17231 is a whole number, -17231 is a factor of 17231
Since 17231 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 17231
Since 17231 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 17231
Multiples of 17231 are all integers divisible by 17231 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 17231 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 17231. The smallest multiples of 17231 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 17231 since 0 × 17231 = 0
17231 : in fact, 17231 is a multiple of itself, since 17231 is divisible by 17231 (it was 17231 / 17231 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
34462: in fact, 34462 = 17231 × 2
51693: in fact, 51693 = 17231 × 3
68924: in fact, 68924 = 17231 × 4
86155: in fact, 86155 = 17231 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 17231, the answer is: yes, 17231 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (17231).
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 17231). 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 131.267 ). 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.
