373is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 373 are all the numbers between -373 and 373 , which divide 373 without leaving any remainder. Since 373 divided by -373 is an integer, -373 is a factor of 373 .
Since 373 divided by -373 is a whole number, -373 is a factor of 373
Since 373 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 373
Since 373 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 373
Multiples of 373 are all integers divisible by 373 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 373 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 373. The smallest multiples of 373 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 373 since 0 × 373 = 0
373 : in fact, 373 is a multiple of itself, since 373 is divisible by 373 (it was 373 / 373 = 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 373, the answer is: yes, 373 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (373).
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 373). 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 19.313 ). 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.
