Is 765 a prime number?

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

For 765, the answer is: No, 765 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 765) is as follows: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 17, 45, 51, 85, 153, 255, 765.

For 765 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 765 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 765 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 765 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

765 is a multiple of 1
765 is a multiple of 3
765 is a multiple of 5
765 is a multiple of 9
765 is a multiple of 15
765 is a multiple of 17
765 is a multiple of 45
765 is a multiple of 51
765 is a multiple of 85
765 is a multiple of 153
765 is a multiple of 255

For 765 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 765 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 765 a deficient number?

Yes, 765 is a deficient number, that is to say 765 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 765 without 765 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 17 + 45 + 51 + 85 + 153 + 255 = 639).

Parity of 765

Is 765 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 765 is about 27.659.

Thus, the square root of 765 is not an integer, and therefore 765 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 765?

The square of a number (here 765) is the result of the product of this number (765) by itself (i.e., 765 × 765); the square of 765 is sometimes called "raising 765 to the power 2", or "765 squared".

The square of 765 is 585 225 because 765 × 765 = 765² = 585 225.

As a consequence, 765 is the square root of 585 225.

Number of digits of 765

765 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 765?

The multiples of 765 are all integers evenly divisible by 765, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 765 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 765. The smallest multiples of 765 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 765 too, since 0 × 765 = 0
765: indeed, 765 is a multiple of itself, since 765 is evenly divisible by 765 (we have 765 / 765 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 530: indeed, 1 530 = 765 × 2
2 295: indeed, 2 295 = 765 × 3
3 060: indeed, 3 060 = 765 × 4
3 825: indeed, 3 825 = 765 × 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 765). 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 27.659). 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.
