499is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 499 are all the numbers between -499 and 499 , which divide 499 without leaving any remainder. Since 499 divided by -499 is an integer, -499 is a factor of 499 .
Since 499 divided by -499 is a whole number, -499 is a factor of 499
Since 499 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 499
Since 499 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 499
Multiples of 499 are all integers divisible by 499 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 499 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 499. The smallest multiples of 499 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 499 since 0 × 499 = 0
499 : in fact, 499 is a multiple of itself, since 499 is divisible by 499 (it was 499 / 499 = 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 499, the answer is: yes, 499 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (499).
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 499). 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 22.338 ). 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.
