To determine if 376 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 376.
If the factors of 376 are only 376 and 1, then we know that 376 is a prime number. Otherwise, 376 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 376 is only divisible by 1 and 376, then it is a prime number, and if 376 is divisible by more than 376 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 376 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 47, 94, 188, 376
Therefore, since 376 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 376 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 377 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 376 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.
