20431is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 20431 are all the numbers between -20431 and 20431 , which divide 20431 without leaving any remainder. Since 20431 divided by -20431 is an integer, -20431 is a factor of 20431 .
Since 20431 divided by -20431 is a whole number, -20431 is a factor of 20431
Since 20431 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 20431
Since 20431 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 20431
Multiples of 20431 are all integers divisible by 20431 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 20431 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 20431. The smallest multiples of 20431 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 20431 since 0 × 20431 = 0
20431 : in fact, 20431 is a multiple of itself, since 20431 is divisible by 20431 (it was 20431 / 20431 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
40862: in fact, 40862 = 20431 × 2
61293: in fact, 61293 = 20431 × 3

It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 20431, the answer is: yes, 20431 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (20431).
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 20431). 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 142.937 ). 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.
