Is 99 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 99 is not a Prime

99 = 3² × 11

99 has 6 divisors — 1, 3, 9, 11, 33 and 99; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √99

9² = 81 ≤ 99 < 100 = 10², so it is enough to try primes up to 9

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

99 ÷ 3 = 33 — 3 divides 99, so 99 is composite

Nearest primes: 97 and 101
