To determine if 335 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 335.
If the factors of 335 are only 335 and 1, then we know that 335 is a prime number. Otherwise, 335 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 335 is only divisible by 1 and 335, then it is a prime number, and if 335 is divisible by more than 335 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 335 are as follows:
1, 5, 67, 335
Therefore, since 335 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 335 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 336 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 335 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.
