To determine if 1674 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1674.
If the factors of 1674 are only 1674 and 1, then we know that 1674 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1674 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1674 is only divisible by 1 and 1674, then it is a prime number, and if 1674 is divisible by more than 1674 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1674 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 31, 54, 62, 93, 186, 279, 558, 837, 1674
Therefore, since 1674 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1674 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1675 prime or composite?
