Is 795 a prime number?

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

For 795, the answer is: No, 795 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 795) is as follows: 1, 3, 5, 15, 53, 159, 265, 795.

For 795 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 795 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 795 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 795 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

795 is a multiple of 1
795 is a multiple of 3
795 is a multiple of 5
795 is a multiple of 15
795 is a multiple of 53
795 is a multiple of 159
795 is a multiple of 265

For 795 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 795 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 795 a deficient number?

Yes, 795 is a deficient number, that is to say 795 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 795 without 795 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 53 + 159 + 265 = 501).

Parity of 795

Is 795 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 795 is about 28.196.

Thus, the square root of 795 is not an integer, and therefore 795 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 795?

The square of a number (here 795) is the result of the product of this number (795) by itself (i.e., 795 × 795); the square of 795 is sometimes called "raising 795 to the power 2", or "795 squared".

The square of 795 is 632 025 because 795 × 795 = 795² = 632 025.

As a consequence, 795 is the square root of 632 025.

Number of digits of 795

795 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 795?

The multiples of 795 are all integers evenly divisible by 795, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 795 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 795. The smallest multiples of 795 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 795 too, since 0 × 795 = 0
795: indeed, 795 is a multiple of itself, since 795 is evenly divisible by 795 (we have 795 / 795 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 590: indeed, 1 590 = 795 × 2
2 385: indeed, 2 385 = 795 × 3
3 180: indeed, 3 180 = 795 × 4
3 975: indeed, 3 975 = 795 × 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 795). 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 28.196). 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.
