In addition we can say of the number 236 that it is even
236 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 236/2 = 118
The factors for 236 are all the numbers between -236 and 236 , which divide 236 without leaving any remainder. Since 236 divided by -236 is an integer, -236 is a factor of 236 .
Since 236 divided by -236 is a whole number, -236 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by -118 is a whole number, -118 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by -59 is a whole number, -59 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by -4 is a whole number, -4 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by 4 is a whole number, 4 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by 59 is a whole number, 59 is a factor of 236
Since 236 divided by 118 is a whole number, 118 is a factor of 236
Multiples of 236 are all integers divisible by 236 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 236 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 236. The smallest multiples of 236 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 236 since 0 × 236 = 0
236 : in fact, 236 is a multiple of itself, since 236 is divisible by 236 (it was 236 / 236 = 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 236, the answer is: No, 236 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 236). 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 15.362 ). 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.
