To determine if 571 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 571.
If the factors of 571 are only 571 and 1, then we know that 571 is a prime number. Otherwise, 571 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 571 is only divisible by 1 and 571, then it is a prime number, and if 571 is divisible by more than 571 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 571 are as follows:
1, 571
Therefore, since 571 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 571 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 572 prime or composite?
