How does 39 not feel prime to you? 3 divides both 10 and 9. Now 1999, that's a number that feels like it should be prime. Conversely 9991 is a number that feels like it should be prime, but isn't.

I want to factor expressions like [math]119+41\sqrt{7}[/math] over [math]\mathbb{Z}[7][/math] using wolframalpha.

A brief google search revealed that it can do this provided input formatted as such: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/PolynomialsOverAlgebraicNumberFields.html

I'm not sure that feature is what you want to be using for this. You're trying to factor an algebraic integer, not polynomials. This would be akin to trying to get prime factorizations of integers by finding roots of rational polynomials.

Come on, any number with a digitsum of 3 is divisible by 3.

So 111 does most certainly not feel in any way like it should be prime.

The thing about prime looking non-primes is that they almost have to be divisible by a two-digit number, because otherwise it's too easy to check for divisors. Secondly, it cannot be too big, or the intuition goes out the window, and it's not convincingly prime enough. Can't have too many prime divisors either, clearly.
Being divisible by 11 is an obvious nono, 17 is too big, so you have to be divisible by 13. The lowest prime-looking non-prime divisible by 13 is 91. This is why, to me, 91 is the ultimate non-prime prime, with 49 being a distant second.
