727is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 727 are all the numbers between -727 and 727 , which divide 727 without leaving any remainder. Since 727 divided by -727 is an integer, -727 is a factor of 727 .
Since 727 divided by -727 is a whole number, -727 is a factor of 727
Since 727 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 727
Since 727 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 727
Multiples of 727 are all integers divisible by 727 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 727 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 727. The smallest multiples of 727 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 727 since 0 × 727 = 0
727 : in fact, 727 is a multiple of itself, since 727 is divisible by 727 (it was 727 / 727 = 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 727, the answer is: yes, 727 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (727).
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 727). 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 26.963 ). 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.
