To determine if 1707 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1707.
If the factors of 1707 are only 1707 and 1, then we know that 1707 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1707 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1707 is only divisible by 1 and 1707, then it is a prime number, and if 1707 is divisible by more than 1707 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1707 are as follows:
1, 3, 569, 1707
Therefore, since 1707 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1707 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
