The first: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 (sequence A005408 in the OEIS). All integers are either even or odd. All integers are either even or odd. A square has even multiplicity for all prime factors (it is of the form a 2 for some a ).
A multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer. For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2.
For example, the composite number 299 can be written as 13 × 23, and the composite number 360 can be written as 2 3 × 3 2 × 5; furthermore, this representation is unique up to the order of the factors. This fact is called the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. [5] [6] [7] [8]
For example, 15 is a composite number because 15 = 3 · 5, but 7 is a prime number because it cannot be decomposed in this way. If one of the factors is composite, it can in turn be written as a product of smaller factors, for example 60 = 3 · 20 = 3 · (5 · 4) .
Also, the product of neighboring digits 3 × 4 is 12, like 4 × 3, while the sum of its prime factors 7 + 7 + 7 is 21. 307 has a prime index of 63, or thrice 21: 3 × 3 × 7, equivalently 3 × 7 × 3 and 7 × 3 × 3, are all permutations of the prime factorization of 21.
7 is the only number D for which the equation 2 n − D = x 2 has more than two solutions for n and x natural. In particular, the equation 2 n − 7 = x 2 is known as the Ramanujan–Nagell equation. 7 is one of seven numbers in the positive definite quadratic integer matrix representative of all odd numbers: {1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 33}.

The integer 5 is a unitary divisor of 60, because 5 and = have only 1 as a common factor. On the contrary, 6 is a divisor but not a unitary divisor of 60, as 6 and 60 6 = 10 {\displaystyle {\frac {60}{6}}=10} have a common factor other than 1, namely 2.
For example, 3 is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as 2 2 − 1. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The exponents p corresponding to Mersenne primes must themselves be prime, although the vast majority of primes p do not lead to Mersenne primes—for example, 2 11 − 1 = 2047 = 23 × 89 .
