Is 605 a prime number?
It is possible to find out using mathematical methods whether a given integer is a prime number or not.
For 605, the answer is: No, 605 is not a prime number.
The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 605) is as follows: 1, 5, 11, 55, 121, 605.
For 605 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 605 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Actually, one can immediately see that 605 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 605 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.
As a consequence:
- 605 is a multiple of 1
- 605 is a multiple of 5
- 605 is a multiple of 11
- 605 is a multiple of 55
- 605 is a multiple of 121
For 605 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 605 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.
Is 605 a deficient number?
Yes, 605 is a deficient number, that is to say 605 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 605 without 605 itself (that is 1 + 5 + 11 + 55 + 121 = 193).
