To determine if 337 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 337.
If the factors of 337 are only 337 and 1, then we know that 337 is a prime number. Otherwise, 337 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 337 is only divisible by 1 and 337, then it is a prime number, and if 337 is divisible by more than 337 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 337 are as follows:
