To determine if 1610 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1610.
If the factors of 1610 are only 1610 and 1, then we know that 1610 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1610 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1610 is only divisible by 1 and 1610, then it is a prime number, and if 1610 is divisible by more than 1610 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1610 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 23, 35, 46, 70, 115, 161, 230, 322, 805, 1610
Therefore, since 1610 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1610 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1611 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1610 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
