To determine if 568 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 568.
If the factors of 568 are only 568 and 1, then we know that 568 is a prime number. Otherwise, 568 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 568 is only divisible by 1 and 568, then it is a prime number, and if 568 is divisible by more than 568 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 568 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 71, 142, 284, 568
Therefore, since 568 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 568 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 569 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 568 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.
