To determine if 943 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 943.
If the factors of 943 are only 943 and 1, then we know that 943 is a prime number. Otherwise, 943 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 943 is only divisible by 1 and 943, then it is a prime number, and if 943 is divisible by more than 943 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 943 are as follows:
1, 23, 41, 943
Therefore, since 943 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 943 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
