The smallest divisor of any even integer is 2. This is because even integers are defined as those that are divisible by 2, meaning they can be expressed in the form (2n), where (n) is an integer. Since 2 is the smallest Prime number, it is also the smallest non-trivial divisor of even integers.
The greatest even integer less than 2 is 0, and the smallest even integer greater than 1 is 2. Therefore, the sum of these two integers is 0 + 2, which equals 2.
An integer is a whole number. So zero could be the smallest integer.
1 is the smallest positive integer. But if you include negative integers, there is no smallest.
That's correct - there is none. For any integer, you can subtract one to get an even smaller integer.

The greatest even integer less than 2 is 0, and the smallest even integer greater than 1 is 2. Therefore, the sum of these two integers is 0 + 2, which equals 2.
An integer is a whole number. So zero could be the smallest integer.
There is no such number. If you restrict yourself to integers, there are numbers - such as primes, that are not divisible by an integer other than one. And if you do not restrict yourself to intgers, then there is no smallest number sincce given any number, half that number will be smaller and will be a divisor.
A rational number is always the result of dividing an integer when the divisor is nonzero.
1 is the smallest positive integer. But if you include negative integers, there is no smallest.
That's correct - there is none. For any integer, you can subtract one to get an even smaller integer.
is called a factor.
To find the least prime divisor of 658, we start by testing the smallest prime numbers. Since 658 is even, it is divisible by 2. Therefore, the least prime divisor of 658 is 2.

The number zero is not the smallest positive integer. The number one is the smallest positive integer.
