    Is 500 a prime or composite number?

    Answer

    Number 500 is not a Prime

    500 = 2² × 5³

    500 has 12 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

    Primes up to √500

    22² = 484 ≤ 500 < 529 = 23², so it is enough to try primes up to 22

    • ÷2 divides

    500 ÷ 2 = 250 — 2 divides 500, so 500 is composite

    Nearest primes: 499 and 503
