To determine if 926 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 926.
If the factors of 926 are only 926 and 1, then we know that 926 is a prime number. Otherwise, 926 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 926 is only divisible by 1 and 926, then it is a prime number, and if 926 is divisible by more than 926 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 926 are as follows:
1, 2, 463, 926
Therefore, since 926 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 926 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
