Is 602 a deficient number?

Yes, 602 is a deficient number, that is to say 602 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 602 without 602 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 7 + 14 + 43 + 86 + 301 = 454).

Parity of 602

Is 602 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 602 is about 24.536.

Thus, the square root of 602 is not an integer, and therefore 602 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 602?

The square of a number (here 602) is the result of the product of this number (602) by itself (i.e., 602 × 602); the square of 602 is sometimes called "raising 602 to the power 2", or "602 squared".

The square of 602 is 362 404 because 602 × 602 = 602² = 362 404.

As a consequence, 602 is the square root of 362 404.

Number of digits of 602

602 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 602?

The multiples of 602 are all integers evenly divisible by 602, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 602 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 602. The smallest multiples of 602 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 602 too, since 0 × 602 = 0
602: indeed, 602 is a multiple of itself, since 602 is evenly divisible by 602 (we have 602 / 602 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 204: indeed, 1 204 = 602 × 2
1 806: indeed, 1 806 = 602 × 3
2 408: indeed, 2 408 = 602 × 4
3 010: indeed, 3 010 = 602 × 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 602). 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 24.536). 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.
