To determine if 304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 304.
If the factors of 304 are only 304 and 1, then we know that 304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 304 is only divisible by 1 and 304, then it is a prime number, and if 304 is divisible by more than 304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 304 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304
Therefore, since 304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 305 prime or composite?
