To determine if 574 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 574.
If the factors of 574 are only 574 and 1, then we know that 574 is a prime number. Otherwise, 574 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 574 is only divisible by 1 and 574, then it is a prime number, and if 574 is divisible by more than 574 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 574 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 41, 82, 287, 574
Therefore, since 574 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 574 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
