Is 22 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 22 is not a Prime

22 = 2 × 11

22 has 4 divisors — 1, 2, 11 and 22; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √22

4² = 16 ≤ 22 < 25 = 5², so it is enough to try primes up to 4

  • ÷2 divides

22 ÷ 2 = 11 — 2 divides 22, so 22 is composite

Nearest primes: 19 and 23
