To determine if 302 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 302.
If the factors of 302 are only 302 and 1, then we know that 302 is a prime number. Otherwise, 302 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 302 is only divisible by 1 and 302, then it is a prime number, and if 302 is divisible by more than 302 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 302 are as follows:
1, 2, 151, 302
Therefore, since 302 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 302 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 303 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 302 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.
