To determine if 106 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 106.
If the factors of 106 are only 106 and 1, then we know that 106 is a prime number. Otherwise, 106 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 106 is only divisible by 1 and 106, then it is a prime number, and if 106 is divisible by more than 106 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 106 are as follows:
1, 2, 53, 106
Therefore, since 106 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 106 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 107 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 106 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
