879is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 879 are all the numbers between -879 and 879 , which divide 879 without leaving any remainder. Since 879 divided by -879 is an integer, -879 is a factor of 879 .
Since 879 divided by -879 is a whole number, -879 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by -293 is a whole number, -293 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by -3 is a whole number, -3 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by 3 is a whole number, 3 is a factor of 879
Since 879 divided by 293 is a whole number, 293 is a factor of 879
Multiples of 879 are all integers divisible by 879 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 879 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 879. The smallest multiples of 879 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 879 since 0 × 879 = 0
879 : in fact, 879 is a multiple of itself, since 879 is divisible by 879 (it was 879 / 879 = 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 879, the answer is: No, 879 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 879). 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 29.648 ). 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.
