To determine if 707 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 707.
If the factors of 707 are only 707 and 1, then we know that 707 is a prime number. Otherwise, 707 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 707 is only divisible by 1 and 707, then it is a prime number, and if 707 is divisible by more than 707 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 707 are as follows:
1, 7, 101, 707
Therefore, since 707 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 707 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 708 prime or composite?
