941 is a prime number that is also the sum of consecutive prime numbers two different ways:
179 + 181 + 191 + 193 + 197 = 941; that’s five consecutive primes
311 + 313 + 317 = 941; that’s three consecutive primes

29² + 10² = 941 That means 941 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
580-741-941 which can be calculated from 2(29)(10), 29² – 10², 29² + 10²

941 is also palindrome 575 in BASE 13 because 5(13²) + 7(13¹) + 5(13⁰) = 941

• 941 is a prime number.
• Prime factorization: 941 is prime.
• The exponent of prime number 941 is 1. Adding 1 to that exponent we get (1 + 1) = 2. Therefore 941 has exactly 2 factors.
• Factors of 941: 1, 941
• Factor pairs: 941 = 1 × 941
• 941 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √941 ≈ 30.6757233

How do we know that 941 is a prime number? If 941 were not a prime number, then it would be divisible by at least one prime number less than or equal to √941 ≈ 30.7. Since 941 cannot be divided evenly by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, or 29, we know that 941 is a prime number.

Here’s another way we know that 941 is a prime number: Since its last two digits divided by 4 leave a remainder of 1, and 29² + 10² = 941 with 29 and 10 having no common prime factors, 941 will be prime unless it is divisible by a prime number Pythagorean triple hypotenuse less than or equal to √941 ≈ 30.7. Since 941 is not divisible by 5, 13, 17, or 29, we know that 941 is a prime number.
