301is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 301 are all the numbers between -301 and 301 , which divide 301 without leaving any remainder. Since 301 divided by -301 is an integer, -301 is a factor of 301 .
Since 301 divided by -301 is a whole number, -301 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by -43 is a whole number, -43 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by -7 is a whole number, -7 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by 7 is a whole number, 7 is a factor of 301
Since 301 divided by 43 is a whole number, 43 is a factor of 301
Multiples of 301 are all integers divisible by 301 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 301 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 301. The smallest multiples of 301 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 301 since 0 × 301 = 0
301 : in fact, 301 is a multiple of itself, since 301 is divisible by 301 (it was 301 / 301 = 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 301, the answer is: No, 301 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 301). 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 17.349 ). 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.
