To determine if 752 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 752.
If the factors of 752 are only 752 and 1, then we know that 752 is a prime number. Otherwise, 752 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 752 is only divisible by 1 and 752, then it is a prime number, and if 752 is divisible by more than 752 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 752 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 47, 94, 188, 376, 752
Therefore, since 752 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 752 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 753 prime or composite?
