487 is a Prime number.

Definition:

A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number has more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself.

Explanation:

487 has no factors besides 1 and itself, so it is a prime number.
