No. 11 x 17 = 187
If it can be multiplied by anything other than 1,0, and itself it is not a prime number.

No, as 187=11*17*1 and a prime number is divisible by 1 and itself only

The number 187 is not a prime number since it has four factors: 1, 11, 17, and 187.

187 is not a prime number because it is a multiple of 11 and 17

The only way to say for sure is to test. You only need to test primes up to sqrt(187) =13.7: use 17 So, I recommend starting with the big primes and work down.
In this case, your first test gives the correct factorization.
