To determine if 1548 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1548.
If the factors of 1548 are only 1548 and 1, then we know that 1548 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1548 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1548 is only divisible by 1 and 1548, then it is a prime number, and if 1548 is divisible by more than 1548 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1548 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, 387, 516, 774, 1548
Therefore, since 1548 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1548 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1549 prime or composite?
