To determine if 718 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 718.
If the factors of 718 are only 718 and 1, then we know that 718 is a prime number. Otherwise, 718 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 718 is only divisible by 1 and 718, then it is a prime number, and if 718 is divisible by more than 718 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 718 are as follows:
1, 2, 359, 718
Therefore, since 718 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 718 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 719 prime or composite?
