To determine if 1376 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1376.
If the factors of 1376 are only 1376 and 1, then we know that 1376 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1376 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1376 is only divisible by 1 and 1376, then it is a prime number, and if 1376 is divisible by more than 1376 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1376 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688, 1376
Therefore, since 1376 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1376 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
