Is 580 a prime number?

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

For 580, the answer is: No, 580 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 580) is as follows: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 29, 58, 116, 145, 290, 580.

For 580 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 580 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

What is a prime number?

Actually, one can immediately see that 580 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 580 is 0, so it is divisible by 5 and is therefore not prime.

As a consequence:

580 is a multiple of 1
580 is a multiple of 2
580 is a multiple of 4
580 is a multiple of 5
580 is a multiple of 10
580 is a multiple of 20
580 is a multiple of 29
580 is a multiple of 58
580 is a multiple of 116
580 is a multiple of 145
580 is a multiple of 290

For 580 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 580 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

Is 580 a deficient number?

No, 580 is not a deficient number: to be deficient, 580 should have been such that 580 is larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 580 without 580 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 29 + 58 + 116 + 145 + 290 = 680).

In fact, 580 is an abundant number; 580 is strictly smaller than the sum of its proper divisors (that is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 29 + 58 + 116 + 145 + 290 = 680). The smallest abundant number is 12.

Parity of 580

Is 580 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 580 is about 24.083.

Thus, the square root of 580 is not an integer, and therefore 580 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 580?

The square of a number (here 580) is the result of the product of this number (580) by itself (i.e., 580 × 580); the square of 580 is sometimes called "raising 580 to the power 2", or "580 squared".

The square of 580 is 336 400 because 580 × 580 = 580² = 336 400.

As a consequence, 580 is the square root of 336 400.

Number of digits of 580

580 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 580?

The multiples of 580 are all integers evenly divisible by 580, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 580 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 580. The smallest multiples of 580 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 580 too, since 0 × 580 = 0
580: indeed, 580 is a multiple of itself, since 580 is evenly divisible by 580 (we have 580 / 580 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 160: indeed, 1 160 = 580 × 2
1 740: indeed, 1 740 = 580 × 3
2 320: indeed, 2 320 = 580 × 4
2 900: indeed, 2 900 = 580 × 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 580). 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 24.083). 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.
