To determine if 931 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 931.
If the factors of 931 are only 931 and 1, then we know that 931 is a prime number. Otherwise, 931 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 931 is only divisible by 1 and 931, then it is a prime number, and if 931 is divisible by more than 931 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 931 are as follows:
1, 7, 19, 49, 133, 931
Therefore, since 931 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 931 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 932 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 931 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.
