Hello there! ◉‿◉

56 is [tex]composite.[/tex]

Why?

Because prime numbers have only two factors - 1 and themselves. Examples of prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19...

Composite numbers have 3 or more factors. 56 has 8 factors. Therefore, it's composite.

Its factors are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 and 56.

Therefore, 56 is a composite number.

Hope this helps you!
