To determine if 704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 704.
If the factors of 704 are only 704 and 1, then we know that 704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 704 is only divisible by 1 and 704, then it is a prime number, and if 704 is divisible by more than 704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 704 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 64, 88, 176, 352, 704
Therefore, since 704 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 704 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 705 prime or composite?
