Is 630 a prime number?

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

For 630, the answer is: No, 630 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 630) is as follows: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, 63, 70, 90, 105, 126, 210, 315, 630.

For 630 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 630 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 630 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 630 is 0, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

630 is a multiple of 1
630 is a multiple of 2
630 is a multiple of 3
630 is a multiple of 5
630 is a multiple of 6
630 is a multiple of 7
630 is a multiple of 9
630 is a multiple of 10
630 is a multiple of 14
630 is a multiple of 15
630 is a multiple of 18
630 is a multiple of 21
630 is a multiple of 30
630 is a multiple of 35
630 is a multiple of 42
630 is a multiple of 45
630 is a multiple of 63
630 is a multiple of 70
630 is a multiple of 90
630 is a multiple of 105
630 is a multiple of 126
630 is a multiple of 210

For 630 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 630 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 630 a deficient number?

No, 630 is not a deficient number: to be deficient, 630 should have been such that 630 is larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 630 without 630 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 30 + 35 + 42 + 45 + 63 + 70 + 90 + 105 + 126 + 210 + 315 = 1 242).

In fact, 630 is an abundant number; 630 is strictly smaller than the sum of its proper divisors (that is 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 30 + 35 + 42 + 45 + 63 + 70 + 90 + 105 + 126 + 210 + 315 = 1 242). The smallest abundant number is 12.

Parity of 630

Is 630 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 630 is about 25.100.

Thus, the square root of 630 is not an integer, and therefore 630 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 630?

The square of a number (here 630) is the result of the product of this number (630) by itself (i.e., 630 × 630); the square of 630 is sometimes called "raising 630 to the power 2", or "630 squared".

The square of 630 is 396 900 because 630 × 630 = 630² = 396 900.

As a consequence, 630 is the square root of 396 900.

Number of digits of 630

630 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 630?

The multiples of 630 are all integers evenly divisible by 630, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 630 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 630. The smallest multiples of 630 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 630 too, since 0 × 630 = 0
630: indeed, 630 is a multiple of itself, since 630 is evenly divisible by 630 (we have 630 / 630 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 260: indeed, 1 260 = 630 × 2
1 890: indeed, 1 890 = 630 × 3
2 520: indeed, 2 520 = 630 × 4
3 150: indeed, 3 150 = 630 × 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 630). 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 25.100). 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.
