To determine if 949 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 949.
If the factors of 949 are only 949 and 1, then we know that 949 is a prime number. Otherwise, 949 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 949 is only divisible by 1 and 949, then it is a prime number, and if 949 is divisible by more than 949 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 949 are as follows:
