To determine if 453 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 453.
If the factors of 453 are only 453 and 1, then we know that 453 is a prime number. Otherwise, 453 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 453 is only divisible by 1 and 453, then it is a prime number, and if 453 is divisible by more than 453 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 453 are as follows:
1, 3, 151, 453
Therefore, since 453 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 453 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 454 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 453 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.
