To determine if 938 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 938.
If the factors of 938 are only 938 and 1, then we know that 938 is a prime number. Otherwise, 938 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 938 is only divisible by 1 and 938, then it is a prime number, and if 938 is divisible by more than 938 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 938 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 67, 134, 469, 938
Therefore, since 938 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 938 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 939 prime or composite?
