To determine if 329 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 329.
If the factors of 329 are only 329 and 1, then we know that 329 is a prime number. Otherwise, 329 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 329 is only divisible by 1 and 329, then it is a prime number, and if 329 is divisible by more than 329 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 329 are as follows:
1, 7, 47, 329
Therefore, since 329 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 329 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 330 prime or composite?
