To determine whether the number 230 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 230 evenly, meaning without leaving a remainder. If such divisors exist, 230 is not a prime number; otherwise, it would be classified as prime.
To quickly check if 230 is a prime number:
Calculate the square root of 230
Prime numbers less than or equal to 15.17: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
