To determine if 446 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 446.
If the factors of 446 are only 446 and 1, then we know that 446 is a prime number. Otherwise, 446 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 446 is only divisible by 1 and 446, then it is a prime number, and if 446 is divisible by more than 446 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 446 are as follows:
1, 2, 223, 446
Therefore, since 446 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 446 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 447 prime or composite?
