Is 645 a prime number?

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

For 645, the answer is: No, 645 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 645) is as follows: 1, 3, 5, 15, 43, 129, 215, 645.

For 645 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 645 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 645 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 645 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

645 is a multiple of 1
645 is a multiple of 3
645 is a multiple of 5
645 is a multiple of 15
645 is a multiple of 43
645 is a multiple of 129
645 is a multiple of 215

For 645 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 645 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 645 a deficient number?

Yes, 645 is a deficient number, that is to say 645 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 645 without 645 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 43 + 129 + 215 = 411).

Parity of 645

645 is an odd number, because it is not evenly divisible by 2.

Is 645 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 645 is about 25.397.

Thus, the square root of 645 is not an integer, and therefore 645 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 645?

The square of a number (here 645) is the result of the product of this number (645) by itself (i.e., 645 × 645); the square of 645 is sometimes called "raising 645 to the power 2", or "645 squared".

The square of 645 is 416 025 because 645 × 645 = 645² = 416 025.

As a consequence, 645 is the square root of 416 025.

Number of digits of 645

645 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 645?

The multiples of 645 are all integers evenly divisible by 645, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 645 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 645. The smallest multiples of 645 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 645 too, since 0 × 645 = 0
645: indeed, 645 is a multiple of itself, since 645 is evenly divisible by 645 (we have 645 / 645 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 290: indeed, 1 290 = 645 × 2
1 935: indeed, 1 935 = 645 × 3
2 580: indeed, 2 580 = 645 × 4
3 225: indeed, 3 225 = 645 × 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 645). 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 25.397). 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.
