883is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 883 are all the numbers between -883 and 883 , which divide 883 without leaving any remainder. Since 883 divided by -883 is an integer, -883 is a factor of 883 .
Since 883 divided by -883 is a whole number, -883 is a factor of 883
Since 883 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 883
Since 883 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 883
Multiples of 883 are all integers divisible by 883 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 883 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 883. The smallest multiples of 883 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 883 since 0 × 883 = 0
883 : in fact, 883 is a multiple of itself, since 883 is divisible by 883 (it was 883 / 883 = 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 883, the answer is: yes, 883 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (883).
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 883). 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 29.715 ). 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.
