To determine if 363 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 363.
If the factors of 363 are only 363 and 1, then we know that 363 is a prime number. Otherwise, 363 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 363 is only divisible by 1 and 363, then it is a prime number, and if 363 is divisible by more than 363 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 363 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 121, 363
Therefore, since 363 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 363 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 364 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 363 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
