769is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 769 are all the numbers between -769 and 769 , which divide 769 without leaving any remainder. Since 769 divided by -769 is an integer, -769 is a factor of 769 .
Since 769 divided by -769 is a whole number, -769 is a factor of 769
Since 769 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 769
Since 769 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 769
Multiples of 769 are all integers divisible by 769 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 769 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 769. The smallest multiples of 769 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 769 since 0 × 769 = 0
769 : in fact, 769 is a multiple of itself, since 769 is divisible by 769 (it was 769 / 769 = 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 769, the answer is: yes, 769 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (769).
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 769). 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 27.731 ). 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.
