Grade 4 Prime and Composite Numbers Practice Test

Build Grade 4 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on prime and composite numbers, factor trees, prime factorization, divisibility, and factor pairs.

Prime and Composite Numbers Practice Tests

These Grade 4 Math practice tests help students classify whole numbers by their factors. Students identify prime and composite numbers, build factor trees, write prime factorizations, use divisibility rules, and apply factor reasoning to equal groups and schedules.

Skills covered

  • Identifying prime and composite numbers
  • Understanding why 1 is neither prime nor composite
  • Listing factors and factor pairs
  • Building factor trees and prime factorizations
  • Using divisibility rules to test factors
  • Applying prime and composite reasoning to word problems

How to use these practice tests

List factor pairs to classify a number. A prime number has exactly two positive factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two positive factors. Remember that 1 has only one positive factor, so it is neither prime nor composite.
