391is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 391 are all the numbers between -391 and 391 , which divide 391 without leaving any remainder. Since 391 divided by -391 is an integer, -391 is a factor of 391 .
Since 391 divided by -391 is a whole number, -391 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by -23 is a whole number, -23 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by -17 is a whole number, -17 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by 17 is a whole number, 17 is a factor of 391
Since 391 divided by 23 is a whole number, 23 is a factor of 391
Multiples of 391 are all integers divisible by 391 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 391 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 391. The smallest multiples of 391 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 391 since 0 × 391 = 0
391 : in fact, 391 is a multiple of itself, since 391 is divisible by 391 (it was 391 / 391 = 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 391, the answer is: No, 391 is not a prime number.
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 391). 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 19.774 ). 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.
