To determine if 895 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 895.
If the factors of 895 are only 895 and 1, then we know that 895 is a prime number. Otherwise, 895 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 895 is only divisible by 1 and 895, then it is a prime number, and if 895 is divisible by more than 895 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 895 are as follows:
1, 5, 179, 895
Therefore, since 895 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 895 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 896 prime or composite?
