Factors of 710:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 710, we found that 710 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710. Hence, we must say that 710 is a composite number.
- Thus, 710 is the composite umber.
- If we multiply 710 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 710 which are 710, 1420 and so on.
About the number 710:
- 710 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710 and hence it is the composite number.
- 710 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 710 by 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710 are the factors of 710.
Note:
- 710 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 710: 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710
- Prime factors of 710: 2, 5, 71
Conclusion:
- 710 is the composite number which has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 71, 142, 355 and 710
- And hence, 710 is not the prime number.
