To determine if 701 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 701.
If the factors of 701 are only 701 and 1, then we know that 701 is a prime number. Otherwise, 701 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 701 is only divisible by 1 and 701, then it is a prime number, and if 701 is divisible by more than 701 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 701 are as follows:
1, 701
Therefore, since 701 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 701 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 702 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 701 is a prime 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.
