To determine if 927 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 927.
If the factors of 927 are only 927 and 1, then we know that 927 is a prime number. Otherwise, 927 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 927 is only divisible by 1 and 927, then it is a prime number, and if 927 is divisible by more than 927 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 927 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 103, 309, 927
Therefore, since 927 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 927 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 928 prime or composite?
