353is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 353 are all the numbers between -353 and 353 , which divide 353 without leaving any remainder. Since 353 divided by -353 is an integer, -353 is a factor of 353 .
Since 353 divided by -353 is a whole number, -353 is a factor of 353
Since 353 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 353
Since 353 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 353
Multiples of 353 are all integers divisible by 353 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 353 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 353. The smallest multiples of 353 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 353 since 0 × 353 = 0
353 : in fact, 353 is a multiple of itself, since 353 is divisible by 353 (it was 353 / 353 = 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 353, the answer is: yes, 353 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (353).
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 353). 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 18.788 ). 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.
