<p>According to the definition<a>of</a>a prime<a>number</a>, a prime number should have only two<a>factors</a>which are 1 and itself. 121 does not meet the definition of a prime number, as it has more than two factors which are 1,11 and 121. So 121 is not a prime number. The following are the methods to be used to find whether 121 is a prime number or not. </p>
