To determine if 928 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 928.
If the factors of 928 are only 928 and 1, then we know that 928 is a prime number. Otherwise, 928 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 928 is only divisible by 1 and 928, then it is a prime number, and if 928 is divisible by more than 928 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 928 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 29, 32, 58, 116, 232, 464, 928
Therefore, since 928 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 928 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
