3301is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 3301 are all the numbers between -3301 and 3301 , which divide 3301 without leaving any remainder. Since 3301 divided by -3301 is an integer, -3301 is a factor of 3301 .
Since 3301 divided by -3301 is a whole number, -3301 is a factor of 3301
Since 3301 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 3301
Since 3301 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 3301
Multiples of 3301 are all integers divisible by 3301 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 3301 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 3301. The smallest multiples of 3301 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 3301 since 0 × 3301 = 0
3301 : in fact, 3301 is a multiple of itself, since 3301 is divisible by 3301 (it was 3301 / 3301 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
6602: in fact, 6602 = 3301 × 2
9903: in fact, 9903 = 3301 × 3
13204: in fact, 13204 = 3301 × 4
16505: in fact, 16505 = 3301 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 3301, the answer is: yes, 3301 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (3301).
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 3301). 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 57.454 ). 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.
