NO!!!!
588 is an EVEN number, so it will divide by '2', making it a compound number.
Remember
numbers ending in 0,2,4,6,8 are even numbers. They divide by '2' making them compound numbers, hence NOT prime numbers.
ODD numbers ending in 1,3,7,9 may be prime numbers. NB Number ending in '5' are compound number , because they will divide by ;5;.
A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 588 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 2 because it is an even number. Therefore, 588 is a composite number.588 is a composte number becausr it has more than 2 factors
Use a factor tree. 588 Divide by two. 294,2 Divide by two. 147,2,2 Divide by three. 49,3,2,2 Divide by seven. 7,7,3,2,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588
588 Divide by two. 294,2 Divide by two. 147,2,2 Divide by three. 49,3,2,2 Divide by seven. 7,7,3,2,2 Stop. 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7
You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!
No it’s not prime it has factors. It most definitely is a composite!
The prime factors of 588 are 2, 2, 3, 7, 7.
No. 2 divides 588. You can immediately see this because the number in the ones place, 8, is divisible by 2.
As an even number greater than 2, 588 is divisble by 2 and therefore composite.

It's an even number so it MUST be composite!
588 = 22 x 3 x 72
22 x 3 x 72 = 588
22 x 3 x 72 = 588
It is composite.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588
588 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7
