To determine if 834 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 834.
If the factors of 834 are only 834 and 1, then we know that 834 is a prime number. Otherwise, 834 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 834 is only divisible by 1 and 834, then it is a prime number, and if 834 is divisible by more than 834 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 834 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 139, 278, 417, 834
Therefore, since 834 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 834 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 835 prime or composite?
