To determine if 950 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 950.
If the factors of 950 are only 950 and 1, then we know that 950 is a prime number. Otherwise, 950 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 950 is only divisible by 1 and 950, then it is a prime number, and if 950 is divisible by more than 950 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 950 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950
Therefore, since 950 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 950 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 951 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 950 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.
