Is 10 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 10 is not a Prime

10 = 2 × 5

10 has 4 divisors — 1, 2, 5 and 10; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √10

3² = 9 ≤ 10 < 16 = 4², so it is enough to try primes up to 3

÷2 divides

10 ÷ 2 = 5 — 2 divides 10, so 10 is composite

Nearest primes: 7 and 11

How to check if 10 is prime?

Divide 10 by the primes in order: 3² = 9 ≤ 10 < 16 = 4², so it is enough to try primes up to 3. The first one that divides it is 2: 10 ÷ 2 = 5, so 10 is composite.
