To determine if 792 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 792.
If the factors of 792 are only 792 and 1, then we know that 792 is a prime number. Otherwise, 792 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 792 is only divisible by 1 and 792, then it is a prime number, and if 792 is divisible by more than 792 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 792 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 24, 33, 36, 44, 66, 72, 88, 99, 132, 198, 264, 396, 792
Therefore, since 792 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 792 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 793 prime or composite?
