Is 111 a prime number?
It is possible to find out using mathematical methods whether a given integer is a prime number or not.
For 111, the answer is: No, 111 is not a prime number.
The list of all positive divisors (i.e., the list of all integers that divide 111) is as follows: 1, 3, 37, 111.
For 111 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 111 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.

As a consequence:
For 111 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 111 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.
However, 111 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 111 = 3 x 37, where 3 and 37 are both prime numbers.
Is 111 a deficient number?
Yes, 111 is a deficient number, that is to say 111 is a natural number that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 111 without 111 itself (that is 1 + 3 + 37 = 41).
