To determine if 772 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 772.
If the factors of 772 are only 772 and 1, then we know that 772 is a prime number. Otherwise, 772 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 772 is only divisible by 1 and 772, then it is a prime number, and if 772 is divisible by more than 772 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 772 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 193, 386, 772
Therefore, since 772 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 772 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 773 prime or composite?
