To determine if 733 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 733.
If the factors of 733 are only 733 and 1, then we know that 733 is a prime number. Otherwise, 733 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 733 is only divisible by 1 and 733, then it is a prime number, and if 733 is divisible by more than 733 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 733 are as follows:
