To determine if 350 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 350.
If the factors of 350 are only 350 and 1, then we know that 350 is a prime number. Otherwise, 350 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 350 is only divisible by 1 and 350, then it is a prime number, and if 350 is divisible by more than 350 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 350 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 25, 35, 50, 70, 175, 350
Therefore, since 350 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 350 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 351 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 350 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.
