Is 128 a Prime Number?

Answer: 128 is not a prime number.

To determine whether the number 128 is a prime number, it is necessary to check if it has any divisors besides 1 and itself. This involves checking if there are any other numbers that can divide 128 evenly, meaning without leaving a remainder. If such divisors exist, 128 is not a prime number; otherwise, it would be classified as prime.

To quickly check if 128 is a prime number:

Calculate the square root of 128

128=11.31\sqrt{128} = 11.31

Prime numbers less than or equal to 11.31: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11

  • 128 is divisible by number: 2.

Since 128 is divisible by a number 2 other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number
