In addition we can say of the number 68 that it is even
68 is an even number, as it is divisible by 2 : 68/2 = 34
The factors for 68 are all the numbers between -68 and 68 , which divide 68 without leaving any remainder. Since 68 divided by -68 is an integer, -68 is a factor of 68 .
Since 68 divided by -68 is a whole number, -68 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by -34 is a whole number, -34 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by -17 is a whole number, -17 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by -4 is a whole number, -4 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by -2 is a whole number, -2 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by 2 is a whole number, 2 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by 4 is a whole number, 4 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by 17 is a whole number, 17 is a factor of 68
Since 68 divided by 34 is a whole number, 34 is a factor of 68
Multiples of 68 are all integers divisible by 68 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 68 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 68. The smallest multiples of 68 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 68 since 0 × 68 = 0
68 : in fact, 68 is a multiple of itself, since 68 is divisible by 68 (it was 68 / 68 = 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 68, the answer is: No, 68 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 68). 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 8.246 ). 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.
