To determine if 294 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 294.
If the factors of 294 are only 294 and 1, then we know that 294 is a prime number. Otherwise, 294 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 294 is only divisible by 1 and 294, then it is a prime number, and if 294 is divisible by more than 294 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 294 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
Therefore, since 294 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 294 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 295 prime or composite?
