To determine if 364 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 364.
If the factors of 364 are only 364 and 1, then we know that 364 is a prime number. Otherwise, 364 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 364 is only divisible by 1 and 364, then it is a prime number, and if 364 is divisible by more than 364 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 364 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364
Therefore, since 364 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 364 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 365 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 364 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.
