Prime Number Checker: a worked example

You want to know whether 561 is prime, it "feels" prime but you are not sure.

Number

561
Prime Number Checker produces

Result

Not prime · 561 = 3 × 11 × 17

561 looks prime but factors as 3 × 11 × 17, it is in fact a Carmichael number that fools naive primality tests, which is exactly why a real factorisation beats intuition. The tool returns the full prime factorisation, not just a yes/no.
