To determine if 924 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 924.
If the factors of 924 are only 924 and 1, then we know that 924 is a prime number. Otherwise, 924 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 924 is only divisible by 1 and 924, then it is a prime number, and if 924 is divisible by more than 924 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 924 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 21, 22, 28, 33, 42, 44, 66, 77, 84, 132, 154, 231, 308, 462, 924
Therefore, since 924 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 924 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 925 prime or composite?
