To determine if 348 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 348.
If the factors of 348 are only 348 and 1, then we know that 348 is a prime number. Otherwise, 348 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 348 is only divisible by 1 and 348, then it is a prime number, and if 348 is divisible by more than 348 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 348 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 348
Therefore, since 348 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 348 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 349 prime or composite?
