To determine if 1552 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1552.
If the factors of 1552 are only 1552 and 1, then we know that 1552 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1552 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1552 is only divisible by 1 and 1552, then it is a prime number, and if 1552 is divisible by more than 1552 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1552 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 97, 194, 388, 776, 1552
Therefore, since 1552 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1552 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
