3121is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 3121 are all the numbers between -3121 and 3121 , which divide 3121 without leaving any remainder. Since 3121 divided by -3121 is an integer, -3121 is a factor of 3121 .
Since 3121 divided by -3121 is a whole number, -3121 is a factor of 3121
Since 3121 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 3121
Since 3121 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 3121
Multiples of 3121 are all integers divisible by 3121 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 3121 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 3121. The smallest multiples of 3121 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 3121 since 0 × 3121 = 0
3121 : in fact, 3121 is a multiple of itself, since 3121 is divisible by 3121 (it was 3121 / 3121 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
6242: in fact, 6242 = 3121 × 2
9363: in fact, 9363 = 3121 × 3
12484: in fact, 12484 = 3121 × 4
15605: in fact, 15605 = 3121 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 3121, the answer is: yes, 3121 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (3121).
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 3121). 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 55.866 ). 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.
