599is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 599 are all the numbers between -599 and 599 , which divide 599 without leaving any remainder. Since 599 divided by -599 is an integer, -599 is a factor of 599 .
Since 599 divided by -599 is a whole number, -599 is a factor of 599
Since 599 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 599
Since 599 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 599
Multiples of 599 are all integers divisible by 599 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 599 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 599. The smallest multiples of 599 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 599 since 0 × 599 = 0
599 : in fact, 599 is a multiple of itself, since 599 is divisible by 599 (it was 599 / 599 = 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 599, the answer is: yes, 599 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (599).
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 599). 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 24.474 ). 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.
