To determine if 1633 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1633.
If the factors of 1633 are only 1633 and 1, then we know that 1633 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1633 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1633 is only divisible by 1 and 1633, then it is a prime number, and if 1633 is divisible by more than 1633 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1633 are as follows:
1, 23, 71, 1633
Therefore, since 1633 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1633 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1634 prime or composite?
