Is 302 a prime number?

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

For 302, the answer is: No, 302 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 302) is as follows: 1, 2, 151, 302.

For 302 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 302 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

As a consequence:

302 is a multiple of 1
302 is a multiple of 2
302 is a multiple of 151

For 302 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 302 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

However, 302 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 302 = 2 x 151, where 2 and 151 are both prime numbers.

Is 302 a deficient number?

Yes, 302 is a deficient number, that is to say 302 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 302 without 302 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 151 = 154).

Parity of 302

302 is an even number, because it is evenly divisible by 2: 302 / 2 = 151.

Is 302 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 302 is about 17.378.

Thus, the square root of 302 is not an integer, and therefore 302 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 302?

The square of a number (here 302) is the result of the product of this number (302) by itself (i.e., 302 × 302); the square of 302 is sometimes called "raising 302 to the power 2", or "302 squared".

The square of 302 is 91 204 because 302 × 302 = 302² = 91 204.

As a consequence, 302 is the square root of 91 204.

Number of digits of 302

302 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 302?

The multiples of 302 are all integers evenly divisible by 302, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 302 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 302. The smallest multiples of 302 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 302 too, since 0 × 302 = 0
302: indeed, 302 is a multiple of itself, since 302 is evenly divisible by 302 (we have 302 / 302 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
604: indeed, 604 = 302 × 2
906: indeed, 906 = 302 × 3
1 208: indeed, 1 208 = 302 × 4
1 510: indeed, 1 510 = 302 × 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 302). 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 17.378). 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.
