    Is 996 a prime or composite number?

    Answer

    Number 996 is not a Prime

    996 = 2² × 3 × 83

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

    Primes up to √996

    31² = 961 ≤ 996 < 1,024 = 32², so it is enough to try primes up to 31

    • ÷2 divides

    996 ÷ 2 = 498 — 2 divides 996, so 996 is composite

    Nearest primes: 991 and 997
