To determine if 192 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 192.
If the factors of 192 are only 192 and 1, then we know that 192 is a prime number. Otherwise, 192 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 192 is only divisible by 1 and 192, then it is a prime number, and if 192 is divisible by more than 192 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 192 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 192
Therefore, since 192 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 192 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 193 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 192 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.
