To determine if 433 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 433.
If the factors of 433 are only 433 and 1, then we know that 433 is a prime number. Otherwise, 433 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 433 is only divisible by 1 and 433, then it is a prime number, and if 433 is divisible by more than 433 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 433 are as follows:
