A Prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 144 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 2 because it is an even number. Therefore, 144 is a composite number.

Are 121 264 and 144 prime or composite?
Composite Numbers121, 264 and 144 are composite numbers. It's easy to determine that 264 and 144 are composite because both are even numbers that are divisible by 2. Since that means that they are divisible by at least one number in addition to "1 and itself," they are composite.121 appears like it might be prime, but 11 times 11 equals 121. Since 11 is a factor of 121, it is also a composite number.
