899is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 899 are all the numbers between -899 and 899 , which divide 899 without leaving any remainder. Since 899 divided by -899 is an integer, -899 is a factor of 899 .
Since 899 divided by -899 is a whole number, -899 is a factor of 899
Since 899 divided by -31 is a whole number, -31 is a factor of 899
Since 899 divided by -29 is a whole number, -29 is a factor of 899
Since 899 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 899
Since 899 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 899
Since 899 divided by 29 is a whole number, 29 is a factor of 899

Multiples of 899 are all integers divisible by 899 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 899 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 899. The smallest multiples of 899 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 899 since 0 × 899 = 0
899 : in fact, 899 is a multiple of itself, since 899 is divisible by 899 (it was 899 / 899 = 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 899, the answer is: No, 899 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 899). 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 29.983 ). 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.
