To determine if 807 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 807.
If the factors of 807 are only 807 and 1, then we know that 807 is a prime number. Otherwise, 807 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 807 is only divisible by 1 and 807, then it is a prime number, and if 807 is divisible by more than 807 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 807 are as follows:
1, 3, 269, 807
Therefore, since 807 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 807 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 808 prime or composite?
