Is 28 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 28 is not a Prime

28 = 2² × 7

28 has 6 divisors — 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √28

5² = 25 ≤ 28 < 36 = 6², so it is enough to try primes up to 5

÷2 divides

28 ÷ 2 = 14 — 2 divides 28, so 28 is composite

Nearest primes: 23 and 29
