Is 208 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 208 is not a Prime

208 = 2⁴ × 13

208 has 10 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

Primes up to √208

14² = 196 ≤ 208 < 225 = 15², so it is enough to try primes up to 14

  • ÷2 divides

208 ÷ 2 = 104 — 2 divides 208, so 208 is composite

Nearest primes: 199 and 211
