Is 675 a prime number?

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

For 675, the answer is: No, 675 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 675) is as follows: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 27, 45, 75, 135, 225, 675.

For 675 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 675 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 675 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 675 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

675 is a multiple of 1
675 is a multiple of 3
675 is a multiple of 5
675 is a multiple of 9
675 is a multiple of 15
675 is a multiple of 25
675 is a multiple of 27
675 is a multiple of 45
675 is a multiple of 75
675 is a multiple of 135
675 is a multiple of 225

For 675 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 675 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 675 a deficient number?

Yes, 675 is a deficient number, that is to say 675 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 675 without 675 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 25 + 27 + 45 + 75 + 135 + 225 = 565).

Parity of 675

Is 675 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 675 is about 25.981.

Thus, the square root of 675 is not an integer, and therefore 675 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 675?

The square of a number (here 675) is the result of the product of this number (675) by itself (i.e., 675 × 675); the square of 675 is sometimes called "raising 675 to the power 2", or "675 squared".

The square of 675 is 455 625 because 675 × 675 = 675² = 455 625.

As a consequence, 675 is the square root of 455 625.

Number of digits of 675

675 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 675?

The multiples of 675 are all integers evenly divisible by 675, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 675 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 675. The smallest multiples of 675 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 675 too, since 0 × 675 = 0
675: indeed, 675 is a multiple of itself, since 675 is evenly divisible by 675 (we have 675 / 675 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 350: indeed, 1 350 = 675 × 2
2 025: indeed, 2 025 = 675 × 3
2 700: indeed, 2 700 = 675 × 4
3 375: indeed, 3 375 = 675 × 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 675). 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 25.981). 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.
