In addition we can say of the number 284 that it is even
284 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 284/2 = 142
The factors for 284 are all the numbers between -284 and 284 , which divide 284 without leaving any remainder. Since 284 divided by -284 is an integer, -284 is a factor of 284 .
Since 284 divided by -284 is a whole number, -284 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by -142 is a whole number, -142 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by -71 is a whole number, -71 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by -4 is a whole number, -4 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by 4 is a whole number, 4 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by 71 is a whole number, 71 is a factor of 284
Since 284 divided by 142 is a whole number, 142 is a factor of 284
Multiples of 284 are all integers divisible by 284 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 284 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 284. The smallest multiples of 284 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 284 since 0 × 284 = 0
284 : in fact, 284 is a multiple of itself, since 284 is divisible by 284 (it was 284 / 284 = 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 284, the answer is: No, 284 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 284). 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 16.852 ). 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.
