Is 753 a prime number?

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

For 753, the answer is: No, 753 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 753) is as follows: 1, 3, 251, 753.

For 753 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 753 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

As a consequence:

753 is a multiple of 1
753 is a multiple of 3
753 is a multiple of 251

For 753 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 753 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

However, 753 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 753 = 3 x 251, where 3 and 251 are both prime numbers.

Is 753 a deficient number?

Yes, 753 is a deficient number, that is to say 753 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 753 without 753 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 251 = 255).

Parity of 753

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

Is 753 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 753 is about 27.441.

Thus, the square root of 753 is not an integer, and therefore 753 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 753?

The square of a number (here 753) is the result of the product of this number (753) by itself (i.e., 753 × 753); the square of 753 is sometimes called "raising 753 to the power 2", or "753 squared".

The square of 753 is 567 009 because 753 × 753 = 753² = 567 009.

As a consequence, 753 is the square root of 567 009.

Number of digits of 753

753 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 753?

The multiples of 753 are all integers evenly divisible by 753, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 753 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 753. The smallest multiples of 753 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 753 too, since 0 × 753 = 0
753: indeed, 753 is a multiple of itself, since 753 is evenly divisible by 753 (we have 753 / 753 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 506: indeed, 1 506 = 753 × 2
2 259: indeed, 2 259 = 753 × 3
3 012: indeed, 3 012 = 753 × 4
3 765: indeed, 3 765 = 753 × 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 753). 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 27.441). 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.
