To determine if 341 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 341.
If the factors of 341 are only 341 and 1, then we know that 341 is a prime number. Otherwise, 341 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 341 is only divisible by 1 and 341, then it is a prime number, and if 341 is divisible by more than 341 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 341 are as follows:
1, 11, 31, 341
Therefore, since 341 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 341 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 342 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 341 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.
