To determine if 1383 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1383.
If the factors of 1383 are only 1383 and 1, then we know that 1383 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1383 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1383 is only divisible by 1 and 1383, then it is a prime number, and if 1383 is divisible by more than 1383 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1383 are as follows:
1, 3, 461, 1383
Therefore, since 1383 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1383 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
