Is 69 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 69 is not a Prime

69 = 3 × 23

69 has 4 divisors — 1, 3, 23 and 69; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √69

8² = 64 ≤ 69 < 81 = 9², so it is enough to try primes up to 8

  • ÷2 does not divide
  • ÷3 divides

69 ÷ 3 = 23 — 3 divides 69, so 69 is composite

Nearest primes: 67 and 71
