To determine if 1677 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1677.
If the factors of 1677 are only 1677 and 1, then we know that 1677 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1677 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1677 is only divisible by 1 and 1677, then it is a prime number, and if 1677 is divisible by more than 1677 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1677 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 43, 129, 559, 1677
Therefore, since 1677 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1677 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
