To determine if 748 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 748.
If the factors of 748 are only 748 and 1, then we know that 748 is a prime number. Otherwise, 748 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 748 is only divisible by 1 and 748, then it is a prime number, and if 748 is divisible by more than 748 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 748 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748
Therefore, since 748 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 748 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 749 prime or composite?
