To determine if  a  number is  prime or  composite, follow these steps.Find  all factors of  the  number.If  the  number has  only tow  factors, 1 and  itself, then it is  prime. If the  number  has there are many possible ways to explain the  solution to this  problem.These are just three if  you make a  mistake, choose a  different  button.
