To determine if 944 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 944.
If the factors of 944 are only 944 and 1, then we know that 944 is a prime number. Otherwise, 944 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 944 is only divisible by 1 and 944, then it is a prime number, and if 944 is divisible by more than 944 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 944 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944
Therefore, since 944 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 944 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
