To determine if 706 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 706.
If the factors of 706 are only 706 and 1, then we know that 706 is a prime number. Otherwise, 706 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 706 is only divisible by 1 and 706, then it is a prime number, and if 706 is divisible by more than 706 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 706 are as follows:
1, 2, 353, 706
Therefore, since 706 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 706 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 707 prime or composite?
