    Is 87 a prime or composite number?

    Answer

    Number 87 is not a Prime

    87 = 3 × 29

    87 has 4 divisors — 1, 3, 29 and 87; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

    Primes up to √87

    9² = 81 ≤ 87 < 100 = 10², so it is enough to try primes up to 9

    • ÷2 does not divide
    • ÷3 divides

    87 ÷ 3 = 29 — 3 divides 87, so 87 is composite

    Nearest primes: 83 and 89
