Is 147 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 147 is not a Prime

147 = 3 × 7²

147 has 6 divisors — 1, 3, 7, 21, 49 and 147; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √147

12² = 144 ≤ 147 < 169 = 13², so it is enough to try primes up to 12

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

147 ÷ 3 = 49 — 3 divides 147, so 147 is composite

Nearest primes: 139 and 149
