To determine if 951 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 951.
If the factors of 951 are only 951 and 1, then we know that 951 is a prime number. Otherwise, 951 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 951 is only divisible by 1 and 951, then it is a prime number, and if 951 is divisible by more than 951 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 951 are as follows:
1, 3, 317, 951
Therefore, since 951 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 951 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 952 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 951 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.
