Number 12,000 is not a Prime

12,000 = 2⁵ × 3 × 5³

12,000 has 48 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

Primes up to √12,000

109² = 11,881 ≤ 12,000 < 12,100 = 110², so it is enough to try primes up to 109

  • ÷2 divides

12,000 ÷ 2 = 6,000 — 2 divides 12,000, so 12,000 is composite

Nearest primes: 11,987 and 12,007
