553is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 553 are all the numbers between -553 and 553 , which divide 553 without leaving any remainder. Since 553 divided by -553 is an integer, -553 is a factor of 553 .
Since 553 divided by -553 is a whole number, -553 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by -79 is a whole number, -79 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by -7 is a whole number, -7 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by 7 is a whole number, 7 is a factor of 553
Since 553 divided by 79 is a whole number, 79 is a factor of 553
Multiples of 553 are all integers divisible by 553 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 553 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 553. The smallest multiples of 553 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 553 since 0 × 553 = 0
553 : in fact, 553 is a multiple of itself, since 553 is divisible by 553 (it was 553 / 553 = 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 553, the answer is: No, 553 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 553). 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 23.516 ). 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.
