In [[mathematics]], a '''divisor''' of an integer <math>n,</math> also called a '''factor''' of <math>n,</math> is an [[integer]] <math>m</math> that may be multiplied by some integer to produce <math>n.</math>{{sfn|ps=|Tanton|2005|p=185}} In this case, one also says that <math>n</math> is a ''[[Multiple (mathematics)|multiple]]'' of <math>m.</math> An integer <math>n</math> is '''divisible''' or '''evenly divisible''' by another integer <math>m</math> if <math>m</math> is a divisor of <math>n</math>; this implies dividing <math>n</math> by <math>m</math> leaves no remainder.
