In addition we can say of the number 52 that it is even
52 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 52/2 = 26
The factors for 52 are all the numbers between -52 and 52 , which divide 52 without leaving any remainder. Since 52 divided by -52 is an integer, -52 is a factor of 52 .
Since 52 divided by -52 is a whole number, -52 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by -26 is a whole number, -26 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by -13 is a whole number, -13 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by -4 is a whole number, -4 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by 4 is a whole number, 4 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by 13 is a whole number, 13 is a factor of 52
Since 52 divided by 26 is a whole number, 26 is a factor of 52
Multiples of 52 are all integers divisible by 52 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 52 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 52. The smallest multiples of 52 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 52 since 0 × 52 = 0
52 : in fact, 52 is a multiple of itself, since 52 is divisible by 52 (it was 52 / 52 = 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 52, the answer is: No, 52 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 52). 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 7.211 ). 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.
