To determine if 795 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 795.
If the factors of 795 are only 795 and 1, then we know that 795 is a prime number. Otherwise, 795 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 795 is only divisible by 1 and 795, then it is a prime number, and if 795 is divisible by more than 795 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 795 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 53, 159, 265, 795
Therefore, since 795 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 795 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 796 prime or composite?
