Is 153 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 153 is not a Prime

153 = 3² × 17

153 has 6 divisors — 1, 3, 9, 17, 51 and 153; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √153

12² = 144 ≤ 153 < 169 = 13², so it is enough to try primes up to 12

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

153 ÷ 3 = 51 — 3 divides 153, so 153 is composite

Nearest primes: 151 and 157
