419is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 419 are all the numbers between -419 and 419 , which divide 419 without leaving any remainder. Since 419 divided by -419 is an integer, -419 is a factor of 419 .
Since 419 divided by -419 is a whole number, -419 is a factor of 419
Since 419 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 419
Since 419 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 419
Multiples of 419 are all integers divisible by 419 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 419 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 419. The smallest multiples of 419 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 419 since 0 × 419 = 0
419 : in fact, 419 is a multiple of itself, since 419 is divisible by 419 (it was 419 / 419 = 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 419, the answer is: yes, 419 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (419).
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 419). 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 20.469 ). 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.
