No, and the first give-away is that it ends in an even number (divisible by two).
It is: 2*2*2*29 = 232
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Since 232 is an even number, it also has 2 as a factor so it is a composite number.
2 and 29
The prime factors of 232 are: 2, 29
232 is an even number and so cannot be prime. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are every other positive integer except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
For 232: 2, 29
it is not a prime as it can be factored: F5 = 225 + 1 = 232 + 1 = 4294967297 = 641 x 6700417
232 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 29As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*2*29 = 232
