To determine if 1673 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1673.
If the factors of 1673 are only 1673 and 1, then we know that 1673 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1673 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1673 is only divisible by 1 and 1673, then it is a prime number, and if 1673 is divisible by more than 1673 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1673 are as follows:
1, 7, 239, 1673
Therefore, since 1673 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1673 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
