1787is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 1787 are all the numbers between -1787 and 1787 , which divide 1787 without leaving any remainder. Since 1787 divided by -1787 is an integer, -1787 is a factor of 1787 .
Since 1787 divided by -1787 is a whole number, -1787 is a factor of 1787
Since 1787 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 1787
Since 1787 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 1787
Multiples of 1787 are all integers divisible by 1787 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1787 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1787. The smallest multiples of 1787 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1787 since 0 × 1787 = 0
1787 : in fact, 1787 is a multiple of itself, since 1787 is divisible by 1787 (it was 1787 / 1787 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
3574: in fact, 3574 = 1787 × 2
5361: in fact, 5361 = 1787 × 3
7148: in fact, 7148 = 1787 × 4

etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1787, the answer is: yes, 1787 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1787).
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 1787). 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 42.273 ). 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.
