To determine if 583 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 583.
If the factors of 583 are only 583 and 1, then we know that 583 is a prime number. Otherwise, 583 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 583 is only divisible by 1 and 583, then it is a prime number, and if 583 is divisible by more than 583 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 583 are as follows:
1, 11, 53, 583
Therefore, since 583 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 583 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 584 prime or composite?
