To determine if 799 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 799.
If the factors of 799 are only 799 and 1, then we know that 799 is a prime number. Otherwise, 799 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 799 is only divisible by 1 and 799, then it is a prime number, and if 799 is divisible by more than 799 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 799 are as follows:
1, 17, 47, 799
Therefore, since 799 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 799 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
