5021is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 5021 are all the numbers between -5021 and 5021 , which divide 5021 without leaving any remainder. Since 5021 divided by -5021 is an integer, -5021 is a factor of 5021 .
Since 5021 divided by -5021 is a whole number, -5021 is a factor of 5021
Since 5021 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 5021
Since 5021 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 5021
Multiples of 5021 are all integers divisible by 5021 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 5021 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 5021. The smallest multiples of 5021 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 5021 since 0 × 5021 = 0
5021 : in fact, 5021 is a multiple of itself, since 5021 is divisible by 5021 (it was 5021 / 5021 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
10042: in fact, 10042 = 5021 × 2
15063: in fact, 15063 = 5021 × 3
20084: in fact, 20084 = 5021 × 4
25105: in fact, 25105 = 5021 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 5021, the answer is: yes, 5021 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (5021).
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 5021). 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 70.859 ). 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.
