A prime number has only two positive divisors: 1 and itself.

For 639, the positive divisors are :

  • 1 is a divisor of 639 : 639/1=639639 / 1 = 639
  • 3 is a divisor of 639 : 639/3=213639 / 3 = 213
  • 9 is a divisor of 639 : 639/9=71639 / 9 = 71
  • 71 is a divisor of 639 : 639/71=9639 / 71 = 9
  • 213 is a divisor of 639 : 639/213=3639 / 213 = 3
  • 639 is a divisor of 639 : 639/639=1639 / 639 = 1

Since 639 is divisible by 3, 9, 71 and 213, it has divisors other than 1 and itself.

Therefore, 639 is not a prime number.
