2857is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 2857 are all the numbers between -2857 and 2857 , which divide 2857 without leaving any remainder. Since 2857 divided by -2857 is an integer, -2857 is a factor of 2857 .
Since 2857 divided by -2857 is a whole number, -2857 is a factor of 2857
Since 2857 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 2857
Since 2857 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 2857
Multiples of 2857 are all integers divisible by 2857 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2857 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2857. The smallest multiples of 2857 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2857 since 0 × 2857 = 0
2857 : in fact, 2857 is a multiple of itself, since 2857 is divisible by 2857 (it was 2857 / 2857 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
5714: in fact, 5714 = 2857 × 2
8571: in fact, 8571 = 2857 × 3
11428: in fact, 11428 = 2857 × 4

etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2857, the answer is: yes, 2857 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2857).
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 2857). 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 53.451 ). 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.
