3217is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 3217 are all the numbers between -3217 and 3217 , which divide 3217 without leaving any remainder. Since 3217 divided by -3217 is an integer, -3217 is a factor of 3217 .
Since 3217 divided by -3217 is a whole number, -3217 is a factor of 3217
Since 3217 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 3217
Since 3217 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 3217
Multiples of 3217 are all integers divisible by 3217 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 3217 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 3217. The smallest multiples of 3217 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 3217 since 0 × 3217 = 0
3217 : in fact, 3217 is a multiple of itself, since 3217 is divisible by 3217 (it was 3217 / 3217 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
6434: in fact, 6434 = 3217 × 2
9651: in fact, 9651 = 3217 × 3
12868: in fact, 12868 = 3217 × 4

etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 3217, the answer is: yes, 3217 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (3217).
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 3217). 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 56.719 ). 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.
