Is 462 a prime number or a composite number?

Answer 1

Since 462 is clearly even (all integers which end with a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are even) it is composite (2 is the only even prime number).

All even numbers except for 2 are composite.

All prime numbers except for 2 are odd numbers.

Answer 2

All even numbers greater than 2 are composite.
