To determine if 713 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 713.
If the factors of 713 are only 713 and 1, then we know that 713 is a prime number. Otherwise, 713 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 713 is only divisible by 1 and 713, then it is a prime number, and if 713 is divisible by more than 713 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 713 are as follows:
1, 23, 31, 713
Therefore, since 713 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 713 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 714 prime or composite?
