To determine if 835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 835.
If the factors of 835 are only 835 and 1, then we know that 835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 835 is only divisible by 1 and 835, then it is a prime number, and if 835 is divisible by more than 835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 835 are as follows:
1, 5, 167, 835
Therefore, since 835 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 835 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 836 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 835 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.
