3 <p>Mathematicians have a saying that prime numbers are the cool kids. They have two factors: 1 and the number. Prime numbers are used in music and also in coding languages. So let us jump into prime numbers and determine why 127 is a prime number.</p>

4 <h2>Is 127 a Prime Number?</h2>

5 <p>Did you know 127 is a<a>prime number</a>? But why? Let us look at the rules a number has to follow to be a prime number to be a prime number.</p>

6 <ul><li>It should have only 2<a>factors</a>: 1 and itself.</li>

7 </ul><ul><li>It should have just 2 divisors.</li>

8 </ul><p>In the rules which satisfy the 2 above, every number that comes next is<a>of</a>a prime number.</p>

9 <p> </p>

10 <h2>Why is 127 a prime number?</h2>

11 <p>We could find that a<a>number</a>is prime if it has 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself. It means that a number, not satisfying these conditions, cannot be a prime number. However, there are pretty simple methods to determine whether a number is prime or not:</p>

12 <ul><li>Count Divisor Method</li>

13 </ul><ul><li>Divisibility Test</li>

14 </ul><ul><li>Prime Number Table</li>

15 </ul><ul><li>Prime Factorization</li>

16 </ul><p>Let's see how each of these tests helps us in finding prime numbers. </p>

17 <h3>Using the Counting Divisors Method</h3>

18 <p>The name implies: We’re counting how many divisors a given number has, and then saying that number is prime. It is easy to learn. With that said, let’s see what steps are there in this method.</p>

19 <ul><li>Divisors of 127: 1 and 127.</li>

20 </ul><ul><li>Number of divisors: 2</li>

21 </ul><p>We can see that number 127 has two divisors. And we see that it does fulfill the criteria needed for a prime number. So it is a prime number. </p>

23 <h3>Using the Divisibility Test Method</h3>

25 <p>Let's check 127 is divisible by how many numbers. If 127 is divisible by even one of the numbers, then it will not be a prime number. Let's check the divisibility with 2,3,5 and 7. </p>

24 <p>Let's check 127 is divisible by how many numbers. If 127 is divisible by even one of the numbers, then it will not be a prime number. Let's check the divisibility with 2,3,5 and 7. </p>

26 <ul><li>That is, any number ending in an<a>odd number</a>is not divisible by 2. And 127 ends with an odd number. Actually, 7 is not a<a>multiple</a>of 2, so it is an odd number. So that 127 will not be divisible by 2 and it is not a prime number.</li>

27 </ul><ul><li>The<a>sum</a>of the digits of the number 127 is 10. Now, in order to be divisible by 3, the sum of the digits needs to be a multiple of 3. Since 10 is not a multiple of 3. Therefore, 127 is not divisible by 3.</li>

28 </ul><ul><li>127 does not end in 0 or 5. To be divisible by 5 a number should end in 0 or 5. So, 127 cannot be divided by 5.</li>

27 </ul><ul><li>127 does not end in 0 or 5. To be divisible by 5 a number should end in 0 or 5. So, 127 cannot be divided by 5.</li>

29 </ul><ul><li>We know how to see whether 127 is divisible by 7. Let's simply glance at the last digit, which is 7. We have doubled that 7 to get 14, then subtract the other digit, which is 12. So, we do 14 - 12 = 2. Since 2 is not a multiple of 7, it means that 127 is not divisible by 7.</li>
