To determine if 894 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 894.
If the factors of 894 are only 894 and 1, then we know that 894 is a prime number. Otherwise, 894 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 894 is only divisible by 1 and 894, then it is a prime number, and if 894 is divisible by more than 894 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 894 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 149, 298, 447, 894
Therefore, since 894 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 894 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 895 prime or composite?
