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

No itβs 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
