2221is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 2221 are all the numbers between -2221 and 2221 , which divide 2221 without leaving any remainder. Since 2221 divided by -2221 is an integer, -2221 is a factor of 2221 .
Since 2221 divided by -2221 is a whole number, -2221 is a factor of 2221
Since 2221 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 2221
Since 2221 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 2221
Multiples of 2221 are all integers divisible by 2221 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2221 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2221. The smallest multiples of 2221 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2221 since 0 × 2221 = 0
2221 : in fact, 2221 is a multiple of itself, since 2221 is divisible by 2221 (it was 2221 / 2221 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
4442: in fact, 4442 = 2221 × 2
6663: in fact, 6663 = 2221 × 3
8884: in fact, 8884 = 2221 × 4
11105: in fact, 11105 = 2221 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2221, the answer is: yes, 2221 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2221).
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 2221). 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 47.127 ). 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.
