    17 is a prime number

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A prime number has only two distinct factors. The number is itself a factor and 1 is the other factor.

    An example is 17.

    The factors of 17 are:

    {1,17}

    A composite number has more than two factors.

    Therefore 17 is not a composite number.

    It must however be noted that, 1 is not a prime number.
