4021is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 4021 are all the numbers between -4021 and 4021 , which divide 4021 without leaving any remainder. Since 4021 divided by -4021 is an integer, -4021 is a factor of 4021 .
Since 4021 divided by -4021 is a whole number, -4021 is a factor of 4021
Since 4021 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 4021
Since 4021 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 4021
Multiples of 4021 are all integers divisible by 4021 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 4021 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 4021. The smallest multiples of 4021 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 4021 since 0 × 4021 = 0
4021 : in fact, 4021 is a multiple of itself, since 4021 is divisible by 4021 (it was 4021 / 4021 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
8042: in fact, 8042 = 4021 × 2
12063: in fact, 12063 = 4021 × 3
16084: in fact, 16084 = 4021 × 4
20105: in fact, 20105 = 4021 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 4021, the answer is: yes, 4021 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (4021).
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 4021). 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 63.411 ). 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.
