3911is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 3911 are all the numbers between -3911 and 3911 , which divide 3911 without leaving any remainder. Since 3911 divided by -3911 is an integer, -3911 is a factor of 3911 .
Since 3911 divided by -3911 is a whole number, -3911 is a factor of 3911
Since 3911 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 3911
Since 3911 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 3911
Multiples of 3911 are all integers divisible by 3911 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 3911 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 3911. The smallest multiples of 3911 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 3911 since 0 × 3911 = 0
3911 : in fact, 3911 is a multiple of itself, since 3911 is divisible by 3911 (it was 3911 / 3911 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
7822: in fact, 7822 = 3911 × 2
11733: in fact, 11733 = 3911 × 3
15644: in fact, 15644 = 3911 × 4
19555: in fact, 19555 = 3911 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 3911, the answer is: yes, 3911 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (3911).
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 3911). 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 62.538 ). 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.
