2917is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 2917 are all the numbers between -2917 and 2917 , which divide 2917 without leaving any remainder. Since 2917 divided by -2917 is an integer, -2917 is a factor of 2917 .
Since 2917 divided by -2917 is a whole number, -2917 is a factor of 2917
Since 2917 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 2917
Since 2917 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 2917
Multiples of 2917 are all integers divisible by 2917 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2917 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2917. The smallest multiples of 2917 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2917 since 0 × 2917 = 0
2917 : in fact, 2917 is a multiple of itself, since 2917 is divisible by 2917 (it was 2917 / 2917 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
5834: in fact, 5834 = 2917 × 2
8751: in fact, 8751 = 2917 × 3
11668: in fact, 11668 = 2917 × 4

etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2917, the answer is: yes, 2917 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2917).
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 2917). 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 54.009 ). 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.
