To determine if 964 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 964.
If the factors of 964 are only 964 and 1, then we know that 964 is a prime number. Otherwise, 964 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 964 is only divisible by 1 and 964, then it is a prime number, and if 964 is divisible by more than 964 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 964 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 241, 482, 964
Therefore, since 964 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 964 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 965 prime or composite?
