2141is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 2141 are all the numbers between -2141 and 2141 , which divide 2141 without leaving any remainder. Since 2141 divided by -2141 is an integer, -2141 is a factor of 2141 .
Since 2141 divided by -2141 is a whole number, -2141 is a factor of 2141
Since 2141 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 2141
Since 2141 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 2141
Multiples of 2141 are all integers divisible by 2141 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2141 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2141. The smallest multiples of 2141 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2141 since 0 × 2141 = 0
2141 : in fact, 2141 is a multiple of itself, since 2141 is divisible by 2141 (it was 2141 / 2141 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
4282: in fact, 4282 = 2141 × 2
6423: in fact, 6423 = 2141 × 3
8564: in fact, 8564 = 2141 × 4
10705: in fact, 10705 = 2141 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2141, the answer is: yes, 2141 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2141).
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 2141). 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 46.271 ). 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.
