Is 715 a prime number?

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

For 715, the answer is: No, 715 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 715) is as follows: 1, 5, 11, 13, 55, 65, 143, 715.

For 715 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 715 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 715 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 715 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

715 is a multiple of 1
715 is a multiple of 5
715 is a multiple of 11
715 is a multiple of 13
715 is a multiple of 55
715 is a multiple of 65
715 is a multiple of 143

For 715 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 715 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 715 a deficient number?

Yes, 715 is a deficient number, that is to say 715 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 715 without 715 itself (that is 1 + 5 + 11 + 13 + 55 + 65 + 143 = 293).

Parity of 715

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

Is 715 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 715 is about 26.739.

Thus, the square root of 715 is not an integer, and therefore 715 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 715?

The square of a number (here 715) is the result of the product of this number (715) by itself (i.e., 715 × 715); the square of 715 is sometimes called "raising 715 to the power 2", or "715 squared".

The square of 715 is 511 225 because 715 × 715 = 715² = 511 225.

As a consequence, 715 is the square root of 511 225.

Number of digits of 715

715 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 715?

The multiples of 715 are all integers evenly divisible by 715, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 715 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 715. The smallest multiples of 715 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 715 too, since 0 × 715 = 0
715: indeed, 715 is a multiple of itself, since 715 is evenly divisible by 715 (we have 715 / 715 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 430: indeed, 1 430 = 715 × 2
2 145: indeed, 2 145 = 715 × 3
2 860: indeed, 2 860 = 715 × 4
3 575: indeed, 3 575 = 715 × 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 715). 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 26.739). 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.
