Answer:196 is not a prime number. It is a composite number.Definition:A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number has more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself.Explanation:Any number ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 is evenly divisible by 2, so it has 2 as a factor. 196 is also divisible by 2, so it is a composite number.
No, composite.
2 x 2 x 7 x 7 = 196
