547is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 547 are all the numbers between -547 and 547 , which divide 547 without leaving any remainder. Since 547 divided by -547 is an integer, -547 is a factor of 547 .
Since 547 divided by -547 is a whole number, -547 is a factor of 547
Since 547 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 547
Since 547 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 547
Multiples of 547 are all integers divisible by 547 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 547 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 547. The smallest multiples of 547 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 547 since 0 × 547 = 0
547 : in fact, 547 is a multiple of itself, since 547 is divisible by 547 (it was 547 / 547 = 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 547, the answer is: yes, 547 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (547).
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 547). 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 23.388 ). 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.
