To determine if 912 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 912.
If the factors of 912 are only 912 and 1, then we know that 912 is a prime number. Otherwise, 912 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 912 is only divisible by 1 and 912, then it is a prime number, and if 912 is divisible by more than 912 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 912 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 24, 38, 48, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 304, 456, 912
Therefore, since 912 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 912 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 913 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 912 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
