211is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 211 are all the numbers between -211 and 211 , which divide 211 without leaving any remainder. Since 211 divided by -211 is an integer, -211 is a factor of 211 .
Since 211 divided by -211 is a whole number, -211 is a factor of 211
Since 211 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 211
Since 211 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 211
Multiples of 211 are all integers divisible by 211 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 211 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 211. The smallest multiples of 211 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 211 since 0 × 211 = 0
211 : in fact, 211 is a multiple of itself, since 211 is divisible by 211 (it was 211 / 211 = 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 211, the answer is: yes, 211 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (211).
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 211). 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 14.526 ). 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.
