To determine if 902 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 902.
If the factors of 902 are only 902 and 1, then we know that 902 is a prime number. Otherwise, 902 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 902 is only divisible by 1 and 902, then it is a prime number, and if 902 is divisible by more than 902 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 902 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 41, 82, 451, 902
Therefore, since 902 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 902 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 903 prime or composite?
