To determine if 833 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 833.
If the factors of 833 are only 833 and 1, then we know that 833 is a prime number. Otherwise, 833 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 833 is only divisible by 1 and 833, then it is a prime number, and if 833 is divisible by more than 833 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 833 are as follows:
1, 7, 17, 49, 119, 833
Therefore, since 833 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 833 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 834 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 833 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.
