    Is 142 a prime or composite number?

    Answer

    Number 142 is not a Prime

    142 = 2 × 71

    142 has 4 divisors — 1, 2, 71 and 142; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

    Primes up to √142

    11² = 121 ≤ 142 < 144 = 12², so it is enough to try primes up to 11

    • ÷2 divides

    142 ÷ 2 = 71 — 2 divides 142, so 142 is composite

    Nearest primes: 139 and 149
