    Is 187 a prime or composite number?

    Answer

    Number 187 is not a Prime

    187 = 11 × 17

    187 has 4 divisors — 1, 11, 17 and 187; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

    Primes up to √187

    13² = 169 ≤ 187 < 196 = 14², so it is enough to try primes up to 13

    • ÷2 does not divide
    • ÷3 does not divide
    • ÷5 does not divide
    • ÷7 does not divide
    • ÷11 divides

    187 ÷ 11 = 17 — 11 divides 187, so 187 is composite

    Nearest primes: 181 and 191
