Is 252 prime or composite?


To determine if 252 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 252.

If the factors of 252 are only 252 and 1, then we know that 252 is a prime number. Otherwise, 252 is a composite number.

To explain better, if 252 is only divisible by 1 and 252, then it is a prime number, and if 252 is divisible by more than 252 and 1, then it is a composite number.

The factors of 252 are as follows:
