To determine if 134 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 134.
If the factors of 134 are only 134 and 1, then we know that 134 is a prime number. Otherwise, 134 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 134 is only divisible by 1 and 134, then it is a prime number, and if 134 is divisible by more than 134 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 134 are as follows:
1, 2, 67, 134
Therefore, since 134 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 134 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 135 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 134 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
