563is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 563 are all the numbers between -563 and 563 , which divide 563 without leaving any remainder. Since 563 divided by -563 is an integer, -563 is a factor of 563 .
Since 563 divided by -563 is a whole number, -563 is a factor of 563
Since 563 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 563
Since 563 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 563
Multiples of 563 are all integers divisible by 563 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 563 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 563. The smallest multiples of 563 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 563 since 0 × 563 = 0
563 : in fact, 563 is a multiple of itself, since 563 is divisible by 563 (it was 563 / 563 = 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 563, the answer is: yes, 563 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (563).
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 563). 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 23.728 ). 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.
