In addition we can say of the number 274 that it is even
274 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 274/2 = 137
The factors for 274 are all the numbers between -274 and 274 , which divide 274 without leaving any remainder. Since 274 divided by -274 is an integer, -274 is a factor of 274 .
Since 274 divided by -274 is a whole number, -274 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by -137 is a whole number, -137 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 274
Since 274 divided by 137 is a whole number, 137 is a factor of 274
Multiples of 274 are all integers divisible by 274 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 274 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 274. The smallest multiples of 274 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 274 since 0 × 274 = 0
274 : in fact, 274 is a multiple of itself, since 274 is divisible by 274 (it was 274 / 274 = 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 274, the answer is: No, 274 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 274). 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 16.553 ). 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.
