To determine if 1734 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1734.
If the factors of 1734 are only 1734 and 1, then we know that 1734 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1734 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1734 is only divisible by 1 and 1734, then it is a prime number, and if 1734 is divisible by more than 1734 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1734 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 102, 289, 578, 867, 1734
Therefore, since 1734 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1734 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
