To determine if 930 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 930.
If the factors of 930 are only 930 and 1, then we know that 930 is a prime number. Otherwise, 930 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 930 is only divisible by 1 and 930, then it is a prime number, and if 930 is divisible by more than 930 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 930 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 31, 62, 93, 155, 186, 310, 465, 930
Therefore, since 930 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 930 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 931 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 930 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
