To determine if 334 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 334.
If the factors of 334 are only 334 and 1, then we know that 334 is a prime number. Otherwise, 334 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 334 is only divisible by 1 and 334, then it is a prime number, and if 334 is divisible by more than 334 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 334 are as follows:
1, 2, 167, 334
Therefore, since 334 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 334 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 335 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 334 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.
