To determine if 373 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 373.
If the factors of 373 are only 373 and 1, then we know that 373 is a prime number. Otherwise, 373 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 373 is only divisible by 1 and 373, then it is a prime number, and if 373 is divisible by more than 373 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 373 are as follows:
