Is 140 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 140 is not a Prime

140 = 2² × 5 × 7

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

Primes up to √140

11² = 121 ≤ 140 < 144 = 12², so it is enough to try primes up to 11

  • ÷2 divides

140 ÷ 2 = 70 — 2 divides 140, so 140 is composite

Nearest primes: 139 and 149
