Hello there!

Prime numbers have 2 factors and composite numbers have 3 or more factors.

17 is prime because it has only 2 factors: 1 and itself.

54 is composite because it has more than 3 factors.

77 is composite because it has more than 3 factors.

23 is prime because it has only 2 factors.

Hope this helps you!
