To determine if 352 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 352.
If the factors of 352 are only 352 and 1, then we know that 352 is a prime number. Otherwise, 352 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 352 is only divisible by 1 and 352, then it is a prime number, and if 352 is divisible by more than 352 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 352 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 88, 176, 352
Therefore, since 352 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 352 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 353 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 352 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.
