98 is a composite number, because 98 has a divisor that is other than 1

A prime number is a number that has no factors except ' 1 ' and itself.

If I can find any factors of 98 besides 1 and 98, then 98 is not prime.

The factors of 98 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, and 98 .

I guess 98 is not prime.
98 is composite.
