23 </ul><h3>Using the Counting Divisors Method</h3>
24 <p>The method in which we count the number of divisors to categorize the numbers as prime or composite is called the counting divisors method. Based on the count of the divisors, we categorize prime and composite numbers. If there is a total count of only 2 divisors, then the number would be prime. If the count is more than 2, then the number is composite. Let’s check whether 743 is prime or composite.</p>

25 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>All numbers are divisible by 1 and itself.</p>
26 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 743 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 743.</p>
26 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 743 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 743.</p>
27 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 743 by 3. It is not divisible by 3, so 3 is not a factor of 743.</p>
27 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 743 by 3. It is not divisible by 3, so 3 is not a factor of 743.</p>
28 <p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 743 by finding the approximate<a>square</a>root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the square root value.</p>
