187is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 187 are all the numbers between -187 and 187 , which divide 187 without leaving any remainder. Since 187 divided by -187 is an integer, -187 is a factor of 187 .
Since 187 divided by -187 is a whole number, -187 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by -17 is a whole number, -17 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by -11 is a whole number, -11 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by 11 is a whole number, 11 is a factor of 187
Since 187 divided by 17 is a whole number, 17 is a factor of 187
Multiples of 187 are all integers divisible by 187 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 187 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 187. The smallest multiples of 187 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 187 since 0 × 187 = 0
187 : in fact, 187 is a multiple of itself, since 187 is divisible by 187 (it was 187 / 187 = 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 187, the answer is: No, 187 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 187). 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 13.675 ). 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.
