To determine if 753 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 753.
If the factors of 753 are only 753 and 1, then we know that 753 is a prime number. Otherwise, 753 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 753 is only divisible by 1 and 753, then it is a prime number, and if 753 is divisible by more than 753 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 753 are as follows:
1, 3, 251, 753
Therefore, since 753 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 753 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 754 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 753 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.
