57 is not a Prime number as 3 factors into 57 19 times.

As a side note, some schools may teach that 1 is a prime number but it is not, by definition a number is only considered to be prime if it is divisible by two integers, itself and 1. As 1 can only be divided by 1 and no other number, it does not qualify as a prime number.
