To determine if 746 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 746.
If the factors of 746 are only 746 and 1, then we know that 746 is a prime number. Otherwise, 746 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 746 is only divisible by 1 and 746, then it is a prime number, and if 746 is divisible by more than 746 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 746 are as follows:
1, 2, 373, 746
Therefore, since 746 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 746 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 747 prime or composite?
