Is 123 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 123 is not a Prime

123 = 3 × 41

123 has 4 divisors — 1, 3, 41 and 123; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √123

11² = 121 ≤ 123 < 144 = 12², so it is enough to try primes up to 11

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

123 ÷ 3 = 41 — 3 divides 123, so 123 is composite

Nearest primes: 113 and 127
