To determine if 622 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 622.
If the factors of 622 are only 622 and 1, then we know that 622 is a prime number. Otherwise, 622 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 622 is only divisible by 1 and 622, then it is a prime number, and if 622 is divisible by more than 622 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 622 are as follows:
1, 2, 311, 622
Therefore, since 622 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 622 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 623 prime or composite?
