To determine if 766 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 766.
If the factors of 766 are only 766 and 1, then we know that 766 is a prime number. Otherwise, 766 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 766 is only divisible by 1 and 766, then it is a prime number, and if 766 is divisible by more than 766 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 766 are as follows:
1, 2, 383, 766
Therefore, since 766 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 766 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 767 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 766 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.
