Using the Counting Divisors Method

This method identifies the total number of divisors. If there are only two divisors, the number is prime, or else its composite.


The divisors of 134  = 1, 2, 67, 134


Therefore, 134 is not a prime number.

Using the Divisibility Test Method

This method is used for composite numbers. Here, 134 is an even number. Therefore, we use the divisibility rule of 2. Hence, the factors of 134 are 1, 2, 67, and 134. By looking at the factors, we can say that 134 is not prime.
