  1. aliquant

    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.
