To determine if 826 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 826.
If the factors of 826 are only 826 and 1, then we know that 826 is a prime number. Otherwise, 826 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 826 is only divisible by 1 and 826, then it is a prime number, and if 826 is divisible by more than 826 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 826 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 59, 118, 413, 826
Therefore, since 826 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 826 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 827 prime or composite?
