To determine if 412 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 412.
If the factors of 412 are only 412 and 1, then we know that 412 is a prime number. Otherwise, 412 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 412 is only divisible by 1 and 412, then it is a prime number, and if 412 is divisible by more than 412 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 412 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 103, 206, 412
Therefore, since 412 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 412 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 413 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 412 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.
