Solved by pluggable solver: Factor any number
147 is NOT a prime number: 147 = 3 * 7 * 7

Work Shown

147 is divisible by 3: 147 = 49 * 3.
49 is divisible by 7: 49 = 7 * 7.
7 is not divisible by anything.
This calculation used this Prime Factorization Algorithm.




So this means that 147=3%2A7%5E2
