Question

Is 57 a prime number

Answer 1

For 57 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 57 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1. However, 57 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 57 = 3 x 19, where 3 and 19 are both prime numbers.
