269is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 269 are all the numbers between -269 and 269 , which divide 269 without leaving any remainder. Since 269 divided by -269 is an integer, -269 is a factor of 269 .
Since 269 divided by -269 is a whole number, -269 is a factor of 269
Since 269 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 269
Since 269 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 269
Multiples of 269 are all integers divisible by 269 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 269 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 269. The smallest multiples of 269 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 269 since 0 × 269 = 0
269 : in fact, 269 is a multiple of itself, since 269 is divisible by 269 (it was 269 / 269 = 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 269, the answer is: yes, 269 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (269).
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 269). 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 16.401 ). 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.
