To determine if 904 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 904.
If the factors of 904 are only 904 and 1, then we know that 904 is a prime number. Otherwise, 904 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 904 is only divisible by 1 and 904, then it is a prime number, and if 904 is divisible by more than 904 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 904 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 113, 226, 452, 904
Therefore, since 904 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 904 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 905 prime or composite?
