To determine if 793 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 793.
If the factors of 793 are only 793 and 1, then we know that 793 is a prime number. Otherwise, 793 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 793 is only divisible by 1 and 793, then it is a prime number, and if 793 is divisible by more than 793 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 793 are as follows:
1, 13, 61, 793
Therefore, since 793 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 793 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 794 prime or composite?
