To determine if 923 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 923.
If the factors of 923 are only 923 and 1, then we know that 923 is a prime number. Otherwise, 923 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 923 is only divisible by 1 and 923, then it is a prime number, and if 923 is divisible by more than 923 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 923 are as follows:
1, 13, 71, 923
Therefore, since 923 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 923 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 924 prime or composite?
