To determine if 698 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 698.
If the factors of 698 are only 698 and 1, then we know that 698 is a prime number. Otherwise, 698 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 698 is only divisible by 1 and 698, then it is a prime number, and if 698 is divisible by more than 698 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 698 are as follows:
1, 2, 349, 698
Therefore, since 698 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 698 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
