Is 63 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 63 is not a Prime

63 = 3² × 7

63 has 6 divisors — 1, 3, 7, 9, 21 and 63; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √63

7² = 49 ≤ 63 < 64 = 8², so it is enough to try primes up to 7

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

63 ÷ 3 = 21 — 3 divides 63, so 63 is composite

Nearest primes: 61 and 67
