To determine if 734 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 734.
If the factors of 734 are only 734 and 1, then we know that 734 is a prime number. Otherwise, 734 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 734 is only divisible by 1 and 734, then it is a prime number, and if 734 is divisible by more than 734 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 734 are as follows:
1, 2, 367, 734
Therefore, since 734 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 734 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 735 prime or composite?
