757is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 757 are all the numbers between -757 and 757 , which divide 757 without leaving any remainder. Since 757 divided by -757 is an integer, -757 is a factor of 757 .
Since 757 divided by -757 is a whole number, -757 is a factor of 757
Since 757 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 757
Since 757 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 757
Multiples of 757 are all integers divisible by 757 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 757 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 757. The smallest multiples of 757 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 757 since 0 × 757 = 0
757 : in fact, 757 is a multiple of itself, since 757 is divisible by 757 (it was 757 / 757 = 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 757, the answer is: yes, 757 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (757).
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 757). 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 27.514 ). 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.
