985is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 985 are all the numbers between -985 and 985 , which divide 985 without leaving any remainder. Since 985 divided by -985 is an integer, -985 is a factor of 985 .
Since 985 divided by -985 is a whole number, -985 is a factor of 985
Since 985 divided by -197 is a whole number, -197 is a factor of 985
Since 985 divided by -5 is a whole number, -5 is a factor of 985
Since 985 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 985
Since 985 divided by 1 is a whole number, 1 is a factor of 985
Since 985 divided by 5 is a whole number, 5 is a factor of 985

Multiples of 985 are all integers divisible by 985 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 985 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 985. The smallest multiples of 985 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 985 since 0 × 985 = 0
985 : in fact, 985 is a multiple of itself, since 985 is divisible by 985 (it was 985 / 985 = 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 985, the answer is: No, 985 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 985). 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 31.385 ). 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.
