Is 267 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 267 is not a Prime

267 = 3 × 89

267 has 4 divisors — 1, 3, 89 and 267; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √267

16² = 256 ≤ 267 < 289 = 17², so it is enough to try primes up to 16

  • ÷2 does not divide
  • ÷3 divides

267 ÷ 3 = 89 — 3 divides 267, so 267 is composite

Nearest primes: 263 and 269
