To determine if 788 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 788.
If the factors of 788 are only 788 and 1, then we know that 788 is a prime number. Otherwise, 788 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 788 is only divisible by 1 and 788, then it is a prime number, and if 788 is divisible by more than 788 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 788 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 197, 394, 788
Therefore, since 788 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 788 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 789 prime or composite?
