To determine if 570 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 570.
If the factors of 570 are only 570 and 1, then we know that 570 is a prime number. Otherwise, 570 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 570 is only divisible by 1 and 570, then it is a prime number, and if 570 is divisible by more than 570 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 570 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 19, 30, 38, 57, 95, 114, 190, 285, 570
Therefore, since 570 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 570 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 571 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 570 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.
