732 is not a prime number.


A prime number has only two positive divisors: 1 and itself.

For 732, the positive divisors are :

  • 1 is a divisor of 732 : 732/1=732732 / 1 = 732
  • 2 is a divisor of 732 : 732/2=366732 / 2 = 366
  • 3 is a divisor of 732 : 732/3=244732 / 3 = 244
  • 4 is a divisor of 732 : 732/4=183732 / 4 = 183
  • 6 is a divisor of 732 : 732/6=122732 / 6 = 122
  • 12 is a divisor of 732 : 732/12=61732 / 12 = 61
  • 61 is a divisor of 732 : 732/61=12732 / 61 = 12
  • 122 is a divisor of 732 : 732/122=6732 / 122 = 6
  • 183 is a divisor of 732 : 732/183=4732 / 183 = 4
  • 244 is a divisor of 732 : 732/244=3732 / 244 = 3
  • 366 is a divisor of 732 : 732/366=2732 / 366 = 2
  • 732 is a divisor of 732 : 732/732=1732 / 732 = 1

Since 732 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 61, 122, 183, 244 and 366, it has divisors other than 1 and itself.

Therefore, 732 is not a prime number.
