To determine if 194 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 194.
If the factors of 194 are only 194 and 1, then we know that 194 is a prime number. Otherwise, 194 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 194 is only divisible by 1 and 194, then it is a prime number, and if 194 is divisible by more than 194 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 194 are as follows:
1, 2, 97, 194
Therefore, since 194 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 194 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 195 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 194 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.
