To determine if 535 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 535.
If the factors of 535 are only 535 and 1, then we know that 535 is a prime number. Otherwise, 535 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 535 is only divisible by 1 and 535, then it is a prime number, and if 535 is divisible by more than 535 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 535 are as follows:
1, 5, 107, 535
Therefore, since 535 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 535 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 536 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 535 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.
