To determine if 410 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 410.
If the factors of 410 are only 410 and 1, then we know that 410 is a prime number. Otherwise, 410 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 410 is only divisible by 1 and 410, then it is a prime number, and if 410 is divisible by more than 410 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 410 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 41, 82, 205, 410
Therefore, since 410 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 410 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 411 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 410 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.
