In addition we can say of the number 262 that it is even
262 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 262/2 = 131
The factors for 262 are all the numbers between -262 and 262 , which divide 262 without leaving any remainder. Since 262 divided by -262 is an integer, -262 is a factor of 262 .
Since 262 divided by -262 is a whole number, -262 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by -131 is a whole number, -131 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 262
Since 262 divided by 131 is a whole number, 131 is a factor of 262
Multiples of 262 are all integers divisible by 262 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 262 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 262. The smallest multiples of 262 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 262 since 0 × 262 = 0
262 : in fact, 262 is a multiple of itself, since 262 is divisible by 262 (it was 262 / 262 = 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 262, the answer is: No, 262 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 262). 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 16.186 ). 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.
