To determine if 750 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 750.
If the factors of 750 are only 750 and 1, then we know that 750 is a prime number. Otherwise, 750 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 750 is only divisible by 1 and 750, then it is a prime number, and if 750 is divisible by more than 750 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 750 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 125, 150, 250, 375, 750
Therefore, since 750 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 750 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 751 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 750 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.
