To determine if 1713 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1713.
If the factors of 1713 are only 1713 and 1, then we know that 1713 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1713 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1713 is only divisible by 1 and 1713, then it is a prime number, and if 1713 is divisible by more than 1713 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1713 are as follows:
1, 3, 571, 1713
Therefore, since 1713 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1713 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1714 prime or composite?
