Is 19 a Prime Number?

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

All numbers can be classified into prime or composite numbers. Prime numbers are those numbers which have factors as 1 and the number itself. These numbers can be used in creating unique music patterns, designing computer algorithms, etc. We will know more about Prime numbers and check whether 19 is a prime number or not.

Is 19 a Prime Number?


19 is a prime number, since, on prime factorization of 19, we get only 1 and 19 as the factors of 19.

Why is 19 a Prime Number?

We will now check through various methods that 19 is a prime number. Methods we will use are:

 

 

  • Counting Divisors Method

 

  • Divisibility Test

 

  • Prime Number Chart

 

  • Prime Factorization Method

Using the Counting Divisors Method

The only condition this method involves is that a particular number is prime if and only if it has two distinct integers as its divisors.


In case of 19, the only two distinct divisors are: 1 and 19


Hence, 19 is prime.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using the Divisibility Test Method

Here, we check if 19 is divisible by any other number but 1 and 19. In a case where a number is divisible by any number that falls between 2 and the square root of the number itself, it is composite. 


Testing the same in case of 19:


Step 1: Checking divisibility by 2: 19 is odd, hence, will not be divisible by 2. 


Step 2: Checking divisibility by 3: When 19 is divided by 3, it leaves behind a remainder, making it not divisible by 3. 


Step 3: Checking divisibility by 4: The last two digits of 19 are 19 only. 19 is not perfectly divisible by 4


Also, square root of 19 is less than 5, so no need to check divisibility greater than 4.


By understanding the above, we can conclude that 19 is a prime number.

Using Prime Number Chart

The list of prime numbers up to 30 are — 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19, 23,29 


Following the above chart for reference, we can ascertain that 19 is a prime number.

Using the Prime Factorization Method

Composite numbers can be broken down using prime factorization, however, 19 has no factors but 1 and itself,

therefore it cannot be factored into smaller prime numbers.
