The number 907 has only 2 factors: 1 and 907. Therefore, the number 907 is a prime number.
A number is considered prime if it has only two factors: 1 and itself. Since 907 has no other divisors, it is classified as a prime number.
Given below are a few ways that can be used to find prime or composite numbers.
The different methods we can use to check if a number is a prime number are explained below.
For the counting divisors method, it is checked whether the number is divisible by any numbers other than 1 and the number itself.
The counting divisors method for 907 would simply be:
Divisors of 907 = 1, 907
Number of divisors = 2
Since the number 907 only has 2 divisors, it is considered prime.
In the divisibility test, we try to divide the number by any of the prime numbers. If we cannot, then it is considered a prime number.
In the divisibility method, prime numbers only have 2 divisors, which are 1 and itself.
The divisors of 907 are 1 and 907.
Thus, 907 consists of only 2 factors that divide it completely without any remainder, confirming it as a prime number.

907 is present in this list, confirming it as a prime number.
Prime Number: A natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. For example, 907 is a prime number because it can only be divided by 1 and 907.
Divisibility Test: A method of determining whether one number can be divided by another without leaving a remainder. In the case of 907, the divisibility test confirms that it is only divisible by 1 and 907, proving it is prime.
Divisors: The numbers that can evenly divide another number. For 907, the divisors are 1 and 907, which are the only factors of the number.
Composite Number: A number that has more than two divisors. 907 is not a composite number because it has only two divisors: 1 and 907.
Prime Factorization: The process of breaking down a number into a product of prime numbers. Since 907 is a prime number, its prime factorization is just 907 itself, as it cannot be broken down further.
