To determine if 327 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 327.
If the factors of 327 are only 327 and 1, then we know that 327 is a prime number. Otherwise, 327 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 327 is only divisible by 1 and 327, then it is a prime number, and if 327 is divisible by more than 327 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 327 are as follows:
1, 3, 109, 327
Therefore, since 327 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 327 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 328 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 327 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.
