265is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 265 are all the numbers between -265 and 265 , which divide 265 without leaving any remainder. Since 265 divided by -265 is an integer, -265 is a factor of 265 .
Since 265 divided by -265 is a whole number, -265 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by -53 is a whole number, -53 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by -5 is a whole number, -5 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by 5 is a whole number, 5 is a factor of 265
Since 265 divided by 53 is a whole number, 53 is a factor of 265
Multiples of 265 are all integers divisible by 265 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 265 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 265. The smallest multiples of 265 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 265 since 0 × 265 = 0
265 : in fact, 265 is a multiple of itself, since 265 is divisible by 265 (it was 265 / 265 = 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 265, the answer is: No, 265 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 265). 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 16.279 ). 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.
