751is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 751 are all the numbers between -751 and 751 , which divide 751 without leaving any remainder. Since 751 divided by -751 is an integer, -751 is a factor of 751 .
Since 751 divided by -751 is a whole number, -751 is a factor of 751
Since 751 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 751
Since 751 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 751
Multiples of 751 are all integers divisible by 751 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 751 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 751. The smallest multiples of 751 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 751 since 0 × 751 = 0
751 : in fact, 751 is a multiple of itself, since 751 is divisible by 751 (it was 751 / 751 = 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 751, the answer is: yes, 751 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (751).
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 751). 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 27.404 ). 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.
