To determine if 1695 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1695.
If the factors of 1695 are only 1695 and 1, then we know that 1695 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1695 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1695 is only divisible by 1 and 1695, then it is a prime number, and if 1695 is divisible by more than 1695 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1695 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 113, 339, 565, 1695
Therefore, since 1695 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1695 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
