To test primality, you need to check whether the number is divisible by the prime numbers less than the integer part of its square root. I did it by noticing that 999,919 is almost 1,000,000 when I was determining what number would be close to its square root. The square root of 1,000,000 is 1,000. Then, since 999,919 is 1,000,000 - 81, it is one square number minus another: 1,0002 - 92. So, I know that 999,919 can be factored because of the Pythagorean theorem: a2 + b2 = c2, which can be rewritten as a2 = c2 - b2 = (c - b)(c + b). By substituting 999,919 for a2, 9 for b, and 1000 for c, I have 999,919 = (1000 - 9)(1000 + 9) = 991 x 1009. So, because 999,919 has factors other than 1 and itself, it cannot be a prime number.
Well, honey, to find factors of 999919, you just gotta start dividing it by numbers starting from 1 and working your way up. Factors are just numbers that can be multiplied together to give you 999919. So, grab a calculator and start dividing, you'll find those factors in no time.
Find the factors of 999919 they are 991 and 1009ie 999919= 991* 1009 here it is said that the cat killed more mice than there were cats therefore the no of cats = 991
Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
There would be 9999 cats present since each cat eats more than the total number of cats feeding, and there are 999919 mice distributed among them.
