To determine if 1477 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1477.
If the factors of 1477 are only 1477 and 1, then we know that 1477 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1477 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1477 is only divisible by 1 and 1477, then it is a prime number, and if 1477 is divisible by more than 1477 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1477 are as follows:
