To determine if 564 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 564.
If the factors of 564 are only 564 and 1, then we know that 564 is a prime number. Otherwise, 564 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 564 is only divisible by 1 and 564, then it is a prime number, and if 564 is divisible by more than 564 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 564 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 47, 94, 141, 188, 282, 564
Therefore, since 564 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 564 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 565 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 564 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.
