413 can’t be divided evenly by 2, 3, or 5. Can it be divided by 7? Here’s a couple of quick divisibility tricks to try, each requiring the last number to be separated from the rest giving us 41 and 3.
- Double the 3 and subtract it from 41. That gives us 41 – 6 = 35, a multiple of 7 so 413 can be divided evenly by 7.
- Multiply the 3 by five and add it to 41. That gives us 41 + 15 = 56, a multiple of 7 as well, so we can draw the same conclusion.
Thank you to abyssbrain for telling me about the second divisibility trick. All of 413’s factors are listed below the puzzle.

- 413 is a composite number.
- Prime factorization: 413 = 7 x 59
- The exponents in the prime factorization are 1 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 2 x 2 = 4. Therefore 413 has exactly 4 factors.
- Factors of 413: 1, 7, 59, 413
- Factor pairs: 413 = 1 x 413 or 7 x 59
- 413 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √413 ≈ 20.3224
413 isn’t an a^2 + b^2 as BOTH its prime factors of are of the form 4m+3. Neither can it be of the form a^2 + ab + b^2 so as to be the area (in little triangles) of a triangle on the triangular lattice because its of the form 3n+2. So I don’t think I can make it the basis of a tessellation. Apols if an irrelevant comment.
I knew it couldn’t be the hypotenuse in a Pythagorean triple, but I didn’t know it couldn’t be the basis of one of your fabulous tessellations. Thank you for the information!
