To determine if 710 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 710.
If the factors of 710 are only 710 and 1, then we know that 710 is a prime number. Otherwise, 710 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 710 is only divisible by 1 and 710, then it is a prime number, and if 710 is divisible by more than 710 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 710 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355, 710
Therefore, since 710 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 710 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 711 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 710 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.
