To determine if 1711 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1711.
If the factors of 1711 are only 1711 and 1, then we know that 1711 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1711 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1711 is only divisible by 1 and 1711, then it is a prime number, and if 1711 is divisible by more than 1711 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1711 are as follows:
1, 29, 59, 1711
Therefore, since 1711 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1711 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1712 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1711 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
