Is 171 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 171 is not a Prime

171 = 3² × 19

171 has 6 divisors — 1, 3, 9, 19, 57 and 171; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √171

13² = 169 ≤ 171 < 196 = 14², so it is enough to try primes up to 13

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

171 ÷ 3 = 57 — 3 divides 171, so 171 is composite

Nearest primes: 167 and 173
