Prime Number Calculator
Test whether a whole number is prime by trial division. Supported integers range from -1,000,000,000 through 1,000,000,000. Values below 2 are not prime; composite positive integers have a divisor other than 1 and themselves. The size limit keeps the browser calculation bounded.
Prime Number Calculator takes your number and gives back the result, applying the standard method. It's a quick, browser-based way to work through a calculation.

FAQ
What is a prime number?
A whole number greater than 1 that has exactly two divisors: 1 and itself.
What does this calculator tell me?
It reports whether the supported integer is prime. Positive integers greater than 1 that are not prime are composite; 0, 1 and negative integers are not prime and are not labeled composite.
Is 29 prime?
Yes — 29 has no divisors other than 1 and 29, so it is prime.
Does the Prime Number Calculator send my data to a server?
No — the Prime Number Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so the numbers you enter never leave your device.
Worked example
Is 29 prime? It has no divisors other than 1 and 29, so yes. 30, by contrast, divides by 2, 3 and 5.
