Using the Counting Divisors Method

In this counting divisor method, we need to count the divisors of a number. The number, which holds more than two factors, is said to be a composite number.

 

Let’s check the number 431.

 

The divisors of 431 = 1, and 431.


431 holds only two divisors, so it is a prime number.

Using Prime Number Chart

In this method, we find the square root by listing the prime number chart:

 

Here, we list the prime numbers up to 435 = 2, 3, 5…421, 431, 433.

 

From the above number chart, we obtained that 431 is a prime number.

Using the Prime Factorization Method

In this method, we need to find the prime factorization of 431

 

The prime factorization is said to be the numbers as the product of their prime factors.

 

Prime factorization of 431 = 1 × 431

 

Therefore, 431 is not factored into smaller prime factors.
