This prepreg is obtained by impregnating a
fiber base material with a thermosetting resin composition, and contains a component (a) specified by the following procedure in an amount of 72
mass% or less. (Procedure) The prepreg is
cut into 10 cm squares to prepare a test piece, and then the
mass x (g) is measured. Next, the test piece is stirred together with 400 ml of
methanol in a 500 ml resin container at 20°C for 20 hours, and is subsequently taken out. Thereafter, the test piece is dried under reduced pressure for 24 hours, and then the
mass y (g) is measured. Subsequently, the test piece is fired at 500°C for 4 hours, and then the mass z (g) is measured. The ratio (mass%) of the component a is calculated by formula (1) below. (1): Component a = {(mass y - mass z) / (mass x - mass z)} × 100
