69is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 69 are all the numbers between -69 and 69 , which divide 69 without leaving any remainder. Since 69 divided by -69 is an integer, -69 is a factor of 69 .
Since 69 divided by -69 is a whole number, -69 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by -23 is a whole number, -23 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 69
Since 69 divided by 23 is a whole number, 23 is a factor of 69
Multiples of 69 are all integers divisible by 69 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 69 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 69. The smallest multiples of 69 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 69 since 0 × 69 = 0
69 : in fact, 69 is a multiple of itself, since 69 is divisible by 69 (it was 69 / 69 = 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 69, the answer is: No, 69 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 69). 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 8.307 ). 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.
