To determine if 965 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 965.
If the factors of 965 are only 965 and 1, then we know that 965 is a prime number. Otherwise, 965 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 965 is only divisible by 1 and 965, then it is a prime number, and if 965 is divisible by more than 965 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 965 are as follows:
1, 5, 193, 965
Therefore, since 965 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 965 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 966 prime or composite?
