To determine if 759 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 759.
If the factors of 759 are only 759 and 1, then we know that 759 is a prime number. Otherwise, 759 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 759 is only divisible by 1 and 759, then it is a prime number, and if 759 is divisible by more than 759 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 759 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 23, 33, 69, 253, 759
Therefore, since 759 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 759 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 760 prime or composite?
