To determine if 567 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 567.
If the factors of 567 are only 567 and 1, then we know that 567 is a prime number. Otherwise, 567 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 567 is only divisible by 1 and 567, then it is a prime number, and if 567 is divisible by more than 567 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 567 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, 81, 189, 567
Therefore, since 567 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 567 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 568 prime or composite?
