In addition we can say of the number 218 that it is even
218 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 218/2 = 109
The factors for 218 are all the numbers between -218 and 218 , which divide 218 without leaving any remainder. Since 218 divided by -218 is an integer, -218 is a factor of 218 .
Since 218 divided by -218 is a whole number, -218 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by -109 is a whole number, -109 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 218
Since 218 divided by 109 is a whole number, 109 is a factor of 218
Multiples of 218 are all integers divisible by 218 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 218 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 218. The smallest multiples of 218 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 218 since 0 × 218 = 0
218 : in fact, 218 is a multiple of itself, since 218 is divisible by 218 (it was 218 / 218 = 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 218, the answer is: No, 218 is not a prime number.
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 218). 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 14.765 ). 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.
