To determine if 594 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 594.
If the factors of 594 are only 594 and 1, then we know that 594 is a prime number. Otherwise, 594 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 594 is only divisible by 1 and 594, then it is a prime number, and if 594 is divisible by more than 594 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 594 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 27, 33, 54, 66, 99, 198, 297, 594
Therefore, since 594 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 594 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 595 prime or composite?
