831is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 831 are all the numbers between -831 and 831 , which divide 831 without leaving any remainder. Since 831 divided by -831 is an integer, -831 is a factor of 831 .
Since 831 divided by -831 is a whole number, -831 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by -277 is a whole number, -277 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 831
Since 831 divided by 277 is a whole number, 277 is a factor of 831
Multiples of 831 are all integers divisible by 831 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 831 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 831. The smallest multiples of 831 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 831 since 0 × 831 = 0
831 : in fact, 831 is a multiple of itself, since 831 is divisible by 831 (it was 831 / 831 = 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 831, the answer is: No, 831 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 831). 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 28.827 ). 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.
