To determine if 758 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 758.
If the factors of 758 are only 758 and 1, then we know that 758 is a prime number. Otherwise, 758 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 758 is only divisible by 1 and 758, then it is a prime number, and if 758 is divisible by more than 758 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 758 are as follows:
1, 2, 379, 758
Therefore, since 758 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 758 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 759 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 758 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.
