To determine if 806 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 806.
If the factors of 806 are only 806 and 1, then we know that 806 is a prime number. Otherwise, 806 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 806 is only divisible by 1 and 806, then it is a prime number, and if 806 is divisible by more than 806 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 806 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 31, 62, 403, 806
Therefore, since 806 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 806 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 807 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 806 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
