941is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 941 are all the numbers between -941 and 941 , which divide 941 without leaving any remainder. Since 941 divided by -941 is an integer, -941 is a factor of 941 .
Since 941 divided by -941 is a whole number, -941 is a factor of 941
Since 941 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 941
Since 941 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 941
Multiples of 941 are all integers divisible by 941 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 941 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 941. The smallest multiples of 941 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 941 since 0 × 941 = 0
941 : in fact, 941 is a multiple of itself, since 941 is divisible by 941 (it was 941 / 941 = 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 941, the answer is: yes, 941 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (941).
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 941). 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 30.676 ). 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.
