Is 762 a prime number?

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

For 762, the answer is: No, 762 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 762) is as follows: 1, 2, 3, 6, 127, 254, 381, 762.

For 762 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 762 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

For 762 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 762 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 762 a deficient number?

No, 762 is not a deficient number: to be deficient, 762 should have been such that 762 is larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 762 without 762 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 127 + 254 + 381 = 774).

In fact, 762 is an abundant number; 762 is strictly smaller than the sum of its proper divisors (that is 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 127 + 254 + 381 = 774). The smallest abundant number is 12.

Parity of 762

762 is an even number, because it is evenly divisible by 2: 762 / 2 = 381.

Is 762 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 762 is about 27.604.

Thus, the square root of 762 is not an integer, and therefore 762 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 762?

The square of a number (here 762) is the result of the product of this number (762) by itself (i.e., 762 × 762); the square of 762 is sometimes called "raising 762 to the power 2", or "762 squared".

The square of 762 is 580 644 because 762 × 762 = 762² = 580 644.

As a consequence, 762 is the square root of 580 644.

Number of digits of 762

762 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 762?

The multiples of 762 are all integers evenly divisible by 762, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 762 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 762. The smallest multiples of 762 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 762 too, since 0 × 762 = 0
762: indeed, 762 is a multiple of itself, since 762 is evenly divisible by 762 (we have 762 / 762 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 524: indeed, 1 524 = 762 × 2
2 286: indeed, 2 286 = 762 × 3
3 048: indeed, 3 048 = 762 × 4
3 810: indeed, 3 810 = 762 × 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 762). 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 27.604). 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.
