To determine if 794 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 794.
If the factors of 794 are only 794 and 1, then we know that 794 is a prime number. Otherwise, 794 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 794 is only divisible by 1 and 794, then it is a prime number, and if 794 is divisible by more than 794 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 794 are as follows:
1, 2, 397, 794
Therefore, since 794 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 794 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
