2179is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 2179 are all the numbers between -2179 and 2179 , which divide 2179 without leaving any remainder. Since 2179 divided by -2179 is an integer, -2179 is a factor of 2179 .
Since 2179 divided by -2179 is a whole number, -2179 is a factor of 2179
Since 2179 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 2179
Since 2179 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 2179
Multiples of 2179 are all integers divisible by 2179 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2179 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2179. The smallest multiples of 2179 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2179 since 0 × 2179 = 0
2179 : in fact, 2179 is a multiple of itself, since 2179 is divisible by 2179 (it was 2179 / 2179 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
4358: in fact, 4358 = 2179 × 2
6537: in fact, 6537 = 2179 × 3
8716: in fact, 8716 = 2179 × 4
10895: in fact, 10895 = 2179 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2179, the answer is: yes, 2179 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2179).
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 2179). 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 46.68 ). 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.
