To determine if 469 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 469.
If the factors of 469 are only 469 and 1, then we know that 469 is a prime number. Otherwise, 469 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 469 is only divisible by 1 and 469, then it is a prime number, and if 469 is divisible by more than 469 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 469 are as follows:
1, 7, 67, 469
Therefore, since 469 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 469 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 470 prime or composite?
