To determine if 767 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 767.
If the factors of 767 are only 767 and 1, then we know that 767 is a prime number. Otherwise, 767 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 767 is only divisible by 1 and 767, then it is a prime number, and if 767 is divisible by more than 767 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 767 are as follows:
1, 13, 59, 767
Therefore, since 767 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 767 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 768 prime or composite?
