67is an odd number,as it is not divisible by 2
The factors for 67 are all the numbers between -67 and 67 , which divide 67 without leaving any remainder. Since 67 divided by -67 is an integer, -67 is a factor of 67 .
Since 67 divided by -67 is a whole number, -67 is a factor of 67
Since 67 divided by -1 is a whole number, -1 is a factor of 67
Multiples of 67 are all integers divisible by 67 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 67 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 67. The smallest multiples of 67 are:
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 67, the answer is: yes, 67 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (67).
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 67). 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 8.185 ). 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.
