To determine if 906 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 906.
If the factors of 906 are only 906 and 1, then we know that 906 is a prime number. Otherwise, 906 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 906 is only divisible by 1 and 906, then it is a prime number, and if 906 is divisible by more than 906 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 906 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 151, 302, 453, 906
Therefore, since 906 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 906 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 907 prime or composite?
