177is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 177 are all the numbers between -177 and 177 , which divide 177 without leaving any remainder. Since 177 divided by -177 is an integer, -177 is a factor of 177 .
Since 177 divided by -177 is a whole number, -177 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by -59 is a whole number, -59 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 177
Since 177 divided by 59 is a whole number, 59 is a factor of 177
Multiples of 177 are all integers divisible by 177 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 177 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 177. The smallest multiples of 177 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 177 since 0 × 177 = 0
177 : in fact, 177 is a multiple of itself, since 177 is divisible by 177 (it was 177 / 177 = 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 177, the answer is: No, 177 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 177). 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 13.304 ). 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.
