To determine if 699 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 699.
If the factors of 699 are only 699 and 1, then we know that 699 is a prime number. Otherwise, 699 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 699 is only divisible by 1 and 699, then it is a prime number, and if 699 is divisible by more than 699 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 699 are as follows:
1, 3, 233, 699
Therefore, since 699 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 699 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
