To determine if 703 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 703.
If the factors of 703 are only 703 and 1, then we know that 703 is a prime number. Otherwise, 703 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 703 is only divisible by 1 and 703, then it is a prime number, and if 703 is divisible by more than 703 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 703 are as follows:
1, 19, 37, 703
Therefore, since 703 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 703 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 704 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 703 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.
