To determine if 466 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 466.
If the factors of 466 are only 466 and 1, then we know that 466 is a prime number. Otherwise, 466 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 466 is only divisible by 1 and 466, then it is a prime number, and if 466 is divisible by more than 466 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 466 are as follows:
1, 2, 233, 466
Therefore, since 466 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 466 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 467 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 466 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.
