To determine if 760 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 760.
If the factors of 760 are only 760 and 1, then we know that 760 is a prime number. Otherwise, 760 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 760 is only divisible by 1 and 760, then it is a prime number, and if 760 is divisible by more than 760 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 760 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 19, 20, 38, 40, 76, 95, 152, 190, 380, 760
Therefore, since 760 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 760 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 761 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 760 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.
