Is 622 a prime number?

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

For 622, the answer is: No, 622 is not a prime number.

The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 622) is as follows: 1, 2, 311, 622.

For 622 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 622 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

As a consequence:

622 is a multiple of 1
622 is a multiple of 2
622 is a multiple of 311

For 622 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 622 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

However, 622 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 622 = 2 x 311, where 2 and 311 are both prime numbers.

Is 622 a deficient number?

Yes, 622 is a deficient number, that is to say 622 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 622 without 622 itself (that is 1 + 2 + 311 = 314).

Parity of 622

622 is an even number, because it is evenly divisible by 2: 622 / 2 = 311.

Is 622 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 622 is about 24.940.

Thus, the square root of 622 is not an integer, and therefore 622 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 622?

The square of a number (here 622) is the result of the product of this number (622) by itself (i.e., 622 × 622); the square of 622 is sometimes called "raising 622 to the power 2", or "622 squared".

The square of 622 is 386 884 because 622 × 622 = 622² = 386 884.

As a consequence, 622 is the square root of 386 884.

Number of digits of 622

622 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 622?

The multiples of 622 are all integers evenly divisible by 622, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 622 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 622. The smallest multiples of 622 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 622 too, since 0 × 622 = 0
622: indeed, 622 is a multiple of itself, since 622 is evenly divisible by 622 (we have 622 / 622 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 244: indeed, 1 244 = 622 × 2
1 866: indeed, 1 866 = 622 × 3
2 488: indeed, 2 488 = 622 × 4
3 110: indeed, 3 110 = 622 × 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 622). 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 24.940). 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.
