Why is the number 57 not a prime number?
because it is divisible by 3!
What number is divisible by 57?
Any of its multiples! Simply calculate any of the following: 57 x 0 57 x 1 57 x 2 57 x 3 57 x (-1) 57 x (-2) etc., and you get a number that is a multiple of 57, and therefore, divisible by 57.
Is 57 prime composite or neither?
57 divided by 3 is 19. (Any number in which all the digits add up to equal a number divisible by 3 is divisible by 3. 5+7=12 which is divisible by 3.) And since 57 is divisible by more numbers than just 1 and itself it is a composite number.
Is the number 57 prime or composite?
You can see quickly that the number 57 is divisible by 3: 3 * 20 = 60 so if we remove one of those 3's then 3 * 19 = 57 so it is divisible by at least 3 and 19 (as well as itself and 1) Because it is divisible by numbers other than itself and one, 57 cannot be prime. You can also check to see if a number is divisible by 3 by adding its digits and checking to see if that number is divisible by 3: 5+7 = 12 ; and 12 is divisible by 3, so 57 is as well.
What is the number between 55 and 60 that is divisible by 3?
