57is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 57 are all the numbers between -57 and 57 , which divide 57 without leaving any remainder. Since 57 divided by -57 is an integer, -57 is a factor of 57 .
Since 57 divided by -57 is a whole number, -57 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by -19 is a whole number, -19 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 57
Since 57 divided by 19 is a whole number, 19 is a factor of 57
Multiples of 57 are all integers divisible by 57 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 57 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 57. The smallest multiples of 57 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 57 since 0 × 57 = 0
57 : in fact, 57 is a multiple of itself, since 57 is divisible by 57 (it was 57 / 57 = 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 57, the answer is: No, 57 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 57). 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 7.55 ). 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.
