To determine if 382 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 382.
If the factors of 382 are only 382 and 1, then we know that 382 is a prime number. Otherwise, 382 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 382 is only divisible by 1 and 382, then it is a prime number, and if 382 is divisible by more than 382 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 382 are as follows:
1, 2, 191, 382
Therefore, since 382 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 382 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 383 prime or composite?
