To determine if 92 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 92.
If the factors of 92 are only 92 and 1, then we know that 92 is a prime number. Otherwise, 92 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 92 is only divisible by 1 and 92, then it is a prime number, and if 92 is divisible by more than 92 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 92 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 92
Therefore, since 92 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 92 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 93 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 92 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.
