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
