To determine if 908 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 908.
If the factors of 908 are only 908 and 1, then we know that 908 is a prime number. Otherwise, 908 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 908 is only divisible by 1 and 908, then it is a prime number, and if 908 is divisible by more than 908 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 908 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908
Therefore, since 908 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 908 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 909 prime or composite?
