Is 38 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 38 is not a Prime

38 = 2 × 19

38 has 4 divisors — 1, 2, 19 and 38; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √38

6² = 36 ≤ 38 < 49 = 7², so it is enough to try primes up to 6

÷2 divides

38 ÷ 2 = 19 — 2 divides 38, so 38 is composite

Nearest primes: 37 and 41
