To determine if 893 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 893.
If the factors of 893 are only 893 and 1, then we know that 893 is a prime number. Otherwise, 893 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 893 is only divisible by 1 and 893, then it is a prime number, and if 893 is divisible by more than 893 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 893 are as follows:
1, 19, 47, 893
Therefore, since 893 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 893 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 894 prime or composite?
