To determine if 307 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 307.
If the factors of 307 are only 307 and 1, then we know that 307 is a prime number. Otherwise, 307 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 307 is only divisible by 1 and 307, then it is a prime number, and if 307 is divisible by more than 307 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 307 are as follows:
