To determine if 692 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 692.
If the factors of 692 are only 692 and 1, then we know that 692 is a prime number. Otherwise, 692 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 692 is only divisible by 1 and 692, then it is a prime number, and if 692 is divisible by more than 692 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 692 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 173, 346, 692
Therefore, since 692 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 692 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 693 prime or composite?
