To determine if 754 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 754.
If the factors of 754 are only 754 and 1, then we know that 754 is a prime number. Otherwise, 754 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 754 is only divisible by 1 and 754, then it is a prime number, and if 754 is divisible by more than 754 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 754 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 29, 58, 377, 754
Therefore, since 754 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 754 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
