To determine if 326 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 326.
If the factors of 326 are only 326 and 1, then we know that 326 is a prime number. Otherwise, 326 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 326 is only divisible by 1 and 326, then it is a prime number, and if 326 is divisible by more than 326 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 326 are as follows:
1, 2, 163, 326
Therefore, since 326 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 326 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 327 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 326 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.
