917is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 917 are all the numbers between -917 and 917 , which divide 917 without leaving any remainder. Since 917 divided by -917 is an integer, -917 is a factor of 917 .
Since 917 divided by -917 is a whole number, -917 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by -131 is a whole number, -131 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by -7 is a whole number, -7 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by 7 is a whole number, 7 is a factor of 917
Since 917 divided by 131 is a whole number, 131 is a factor of 917
Multiples of 917 are all integers divisible by 917 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 917 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 917. The smallest multiples of 917 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 917 since 0 × 917 = 0
917 : in fact, 917 is a multiple of itself, since 917 is divisible by 917 (it was 917 / 917 = 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 917, the answer is: No, 917 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 917). 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 30.282 ). 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.
