Is 36 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 36 is not a Prime

36 = 2² × 3²

36 has 9 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself. It is a perfect square.

Primes up to √36

6² = 36 ≤ 36 < 49 = 7², so it is enough to try primes up to 6

÷2 divides

36 ÷ 2 = 18 — 2 divides 36, so 36 is composite

Nearest primes: 31 and 37
