505is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 505 are all the numbers between -505 and 505 , which divide 505 without leaving any remainder. Since 505 divided by -505 is an integer, -505 is a factor of 505 .
Since 505 divided by -505 is a whole number, -505 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by -101 is a whole number, -101 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by -5 is a whole number, -5 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by 5 is a whole number, 5 is a factor of 505
Since 505 divided by 101 is a whole number, 101 is a factor of 505
Multiples of 505 are all integers divisible by 505 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 505 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 505. The smallest multiples of 505 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 505 since 0 × 505 = 0
505 : in fact, 505 is a multiple of itself, since 505 is divisible by 505 (it was 505 / 505 = 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 505, the answer is: No, 505 is not a prime number.
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 505). 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 22.472 ). 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.
