3701is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 3701 are all the numbers between -3701 and 3701 , which divide 3701 without leaving any remainder. Since 3701 divided by -3701 is an integer, -3701 is a factor of 3701 .
Since 3701 divided by -3701 is a whole number, -3701 is a factor of 3701
Since 3701 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 3701
Since 3701 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 3701
Multiples of 3701 are all integers divisible by 3701 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 3701 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 3701. The smallest multiples of 3701 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 3701 since 0 × 3701 = 0
3701 : in fact, 3701 is a multiple of itself, since 3701 is divisible by 3701 (it was 3701 / 3701 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
7402: in fact, 7402 = 3701 × 2
11103: in fact, 11103 = 3701 × 3
14804: in fact, 14804 = 3701 × 4
18505: in fact, 18505 = 3701 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 3701, the answer is: yes, 3701 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (3701).
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 3701). 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 60.836 ). 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.
