Divisor

In mathematics, a divisor of an integer

    n
    ,
  

{\displaystyle n,}

also called a factor of

    n
    ,
  

{\displaystyle n,}

is an integer

    m
  

{\displaystyle m}

that may be multiplied by some integer to produce

    n
    .
  

{\displaystyle n.}

In this case, one also says that

    n
  

{\displaystyle n}

is a multiple of

    m
    .
  

{\displaystyle m.}

An integer

    n
  

{\displaystyle n}

is divisible or evenly divisible by another integer

    m
  

{\displaystyle m}

if

    m
  

{\displaystyle m}

is a divisor of

    n
  

{\displaystyle n}

; this implies dividing

    n
  

{\displaystyle n}

by

    m
  

{\displaystyle m}

leaves no remainder.
