To determine if 377 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 377.
If the factors of 377 are only 377 and 1, then we know that 377 is a prime number. Otherwise, 377 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 377 is only divisible by 1 and 377, then it is a prime number, and if 377 is divisible by more than 377 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 377 are as follows:
1, 13, 29, 377
Therefore, since 377 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 377 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 378 prime or composite?
