To determine if 366 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 366.
If the factors of 366 are only 366 and 1, then we know that 366 is a prime number. Otherwise, 366 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 366 is only divisible by 1 and 366, then it is a prime number, and if 366 is divisible by more than 366 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 366 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 61, 122, 183, 366
Therefore, since 366 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 366 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 367 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 366 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.
