To determine if 732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 732.
If the factors of 732 are only 732 and 1, then we know that 732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 732 is only divisible by 1 and 732, then it is a prime number, and if 732 is divisible by more than 732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 732 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 732
Therefore, since 732 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 732 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 733 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 732 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.
