Is 107 a prime or composite number?
Question:
Is 107 a prime or composite number?
Factors:
The number 9 can be evenly divided by the numbers 1, 3, and 9. Because of this, we say that 1, 3, and 9 are 'factors' of 9. A number that has more than two factors is called a composite number. If a number is greater than 1 and can only be divided evenly by itself and 1, it is referred to as a 'prime number.'
