To determine if 1682 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1682.
If the factors of 1682 are only 1682 and 1, then we know that 1682 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1682 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1682 is only divisible by 1 and 1682, then it is a prime number, and if 1682 is divisible by more than 1682 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1682 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 58, 841, 1682
Therefore, since 1682 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1682 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
