Is 180 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 180 is not a Prime

180 = 2² × 3² × 5

180 has 18 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

Primes up to √180

13² = 169 ≤ 180 < 196 = 14², so it is enough to try primes up to 13

  • ÷2 divides

180 ÷ 2 = 90 — 2 divides 180, so 180 is composite

Nearest primes: 179 and 181
