To determine if 632 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 632.
If the factors of 632 are only 632 and 1, then we know that 632 is a prime number. Otherwise, 632 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 632 is only divisible by 1 and 632, then it is a prime number, and if 632 is divisible by more than 632 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 632 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 79, 158, 316, 632
Therefore, since 632 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 632 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 633 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 632 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.
