Is 805 a prime number?

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

For 805, the answer is: No, 805 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 805) is as follows: 1, 5, 7, 23, 35, 115, 161, 805.

For 805 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 805 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 805 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 805 is 5, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

805 is a multiple of 1
805 is a multiple of 5
805 is a multiple of 7
805 is a multiple of 23
805 is a multiple of 35
805 is a multiple of 115
805 is a multiple of 161

For 805 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 805 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 805 a deficient number?

Yes, 805 is a deficient number, that is to say 805 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 805 without 805 itself (that is 1 + 5 + 7 + 23 + 35 + 115 + 161 = 347).

Parity of 805

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

Is 805 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 805 is about 28.373.

Thus, the square root of 805 is not an integer, and therefore 805 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 805?

The square of a number (here 805) is the result of the product of this number (805) by itself (i.e., 805 × 805); the square of 805 is sometimes called "raising 805 to the power 2", or "805 squared".

The square of 805 is 648 025 because 805 × 805 = 805² = 648 025.

As a consequence, 805 is the square root of 648 025.

Number of digits of 805

805 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 805?

The multiples of 805 are all integers evenly divisible by 805, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 805 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 805. The smallest multiples of 805 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 805 too, since 0 × 805 = 0
805: indeed, 805 is a multiple of itself, since 805 is evenly divisible by 805 (we have 805 / 805 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 610: indeed, 1 610 = 805 × 2
2 415: indeed, 2 415 = 805 × 3
3 220: indeed, 3 220 = 805 × 4
4 025: indeed, 4 025 = 805 × 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 805). 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 28.373). 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.
