19is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 19 are all the numbers between -19 and 19 , which divide 19 without leaving any remainder. Since 19 divided by -19 is an integer, -19 is a factor of 19 .
Since 19 divided by -19 is a whole number, -19 is a factor of 19
Since 19 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 19
Since 19 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 19
Multiples of 19 are all integers divisible by 19 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 19 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 19. The smallest multiples of 19 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 19 since 0 × 19 = 0
19 : in fact, 19 is a multiple of itself, since 19 is divisible by 19 (it was 19 / 19 = 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 19, the answer is: yes, 19 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (19).
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 19). 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 4.359 ). 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.
