To determine if 1337 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1337.
If the factors of 1337 are only 1337 and 1, then we know that 1337 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1337 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1337 is only divisible by 1 and 1337, then it is a prime number, and if 1337 is divisible by more than 1337 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1337 are as follows:
1, 7, 191, 1337
Therefore, since 1337 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1337 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
