To determine if 566 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 566.
If the factors of 566 are only 566 and 1, then we know that 566 is a prime number. Otherwise, 566 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 566 is only divisible by 1 and 566, then it is a prime number, and if 566 is divisible by more than 566 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 566 are as follows:
1, 2, 283, 566
Therefore, since 566 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 566 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 567 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 566 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.
