Is 132 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 132 is not a Prime

132 = 2² × 3 × 11

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

Primes up to √132

11² = 121 ≤ 132 < 144 = 12², so it is enough to try primes up to 11

  • ÷2 divides

132 ÷ 2 = 66 — 2 divides 132, so 132 is composite

Nearest primes: 131 and 137
