To determine if 332 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 332.
If the factors of 332 are only 332 and 1, then we know that 332 is a prime number. Otherwise, 332 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 332 is only divisible by 1 and 332, then it is a prime number, and if 332 is divisible by more than 332 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 332 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332
Therefore, since 332 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 332 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 333 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 332 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.
