Is 511 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 511 is not a Prime

511 = 7 × 73

511 has 4 divisors — 1, 7, 73 and 511; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √511

22² = 484 ≤ 511 < 529 = 23², so it is enough to try primes up to 22

  • ÷2 does not divide
  • ÷3 does not divide
  • ÷5 does not divide
  • ÷7 divides

511 ÷ 7 = 73 — 7 divides 511, so 511 is composite

Nearest primes: 509 and 521
