Is 112 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 112 is not a Prime

112 = 2⁴ × 7

112 has 10 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

Primes up to √112

10² = 100 ≤ 112 < 121 = 11², so it is enough to try primes up to 10

  • ÷2 divides

112 ÷ 2 = 56 — 2 divides 112, so 112 is composite

Nearest primes: 109 and 113
