To determine if 832 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 832.
If the factors of 832 are only 832 and 1, then we know that 832 is a prime number. Otherwise, 832 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 832 is only divisible by 1 and 832, then it is a prime number, and if 832 is divisible by more than 832 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 832 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 64, 104, 208, 416, 832
Therefore, since 832 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 832 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 833 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 832 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.
