To determine if 533 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 533.
If the factors of 533 are only 533 and 1, then we know that 533 is a prime number. Otherwise, 533 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 533 is only divisible by 1 and 533, then it is a prime number, and if 533 is divisible by more than 533 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 533 are as follows:
1, 13, 41, 533
Therefore, since 533 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 533 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 534 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 533 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
