To determine if 954 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 954.
If the factors of 954 are only 954 and 1, then we know that 954 is a prime number. Otherwise, 954 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 954 is only divisible by 1 and 954, then it is a prime number, and if 954 is divisible by more than 954 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 954 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 53, 106, 159, 318, 477, 954
Therefore, since 954 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 954 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 955 prime or composite?
