To determine if 416 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 416.
If the factors of 416 are only 416 and 1, then we know that 416 is a prime number. Otherwise, 416 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 416 is only divisible by 1 and 416, then it is a prime number, and if 416 is divisible by more than 416 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 416 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416
Therefore, since 416 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 416 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 417 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 416 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.
