901is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 901 are all the numbers between -901 and 901 , which divide 901 without leaving any remainder. Since 901 divided by -901 is an integer, -901 is a factor of 901 .
Since 901 divided by -901 is a whole number, -901 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by -53 is a whole number, -53 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by -17 is a whole number, -17 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by 17 is a whole number, 17 is a factor of 901
Since 901 divided by 53 is a whole number, 53 is a factor of 901
Multiples of 901 are all integers divisible by 901 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 901 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 901. The smallest multiples of 901 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 901 since 0 × 901 = 0
901 : in fact, 901 is a multiple of itself, since 901 is divisible by 901 (it was 901 / 901 = 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 901, the answer is: No, 901 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 901). 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 30.017 ). 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.
