Is 275 a prime number?

It is possible to find out using mathematical methods whether a given integer is a prime number or not.

For 275, the answer is: No, 275 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 275) is as follows: 1, 5, 11, 25, 55, 275.

For 275 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 275 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 275 cannot be prime, because 5 is one of its divisors: indeed, a number ending with 0 or 5 has necessarily 5 among its divisors. The last digit of 275 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

275 is a multiple of 1
275 is a multiple of 5
275 is a multiple of 11
275 is a multiple of 25
275 is a multiple of 55

For 275 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 275 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 275 a deficient number?

Yes, 275 is a deficient number, that is to say 275 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 275 without 275 itself (that is 1 + 5 + 11 + 25 + 55 = 97).

Parity of 275

Is 275 a perfect square number?

A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 275 is about 16.583.

Thus, the square root of 275 is not an integer, and therefore 275 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 275?

The square of a number (here 275) is the result of the product of this number (275) by itself (i.e., 275 × 275); the square of 275 is sometimes called "raising 275 to the power 2", or "275 squared".

The square of 275 is 75 625 because 275 × 275 = 275² = 75 625.

As a consequence, 275 is the square root of 75 625.

Number of digits of 275

275 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 275?

The multiples of 275 are all integers evenly divisible by 275, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 275 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 275. The smallest multiples of 275 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 275 too, since 0 × 275 = 0
275: indeed, 275 is a multiple of itself, since 275 is evenly divisible by 275 (we have 275 / 275 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
550: indeed, 550 = 275 × 2
825: indeed, 825 = 275 × 3
1 100: indeed, 1 100 = 275 × 4
1 375: indeed, 1 375 = 275 × 5
etc.

How to determine whether an integer is a prime number?

To determine the primality of a number, several algorithms can be used. The most naive technique is to test all divisors strictly smaller to the number of which we want to determine the primality (here 275). First, we can eliminate all even numbers greater than 2 (and hence 4, 6, 8…). Then, we can stop this check when we reach the square root of the number of which we want to determine the primality (here the square root is about 16.583). Historically, the sieve of Eratosthenes (dating from the Greek mathematics) implements this technique in a relatively efficient manner.

More modern techniques include the sieve of Atkin, probabilistic algorithms, and the cyclotomic AKS test.
