To determine if 1735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1735.
If the factors of 1735 are only 1735 and 1, then we know that 1735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1735 is only divisible by 1 and 1735, then it is a prime number, and if 1735 is divisible by more than 1735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1735 are as follows:
1, 5, 347, 1735
Therefore, since 1735 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1735 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1736 prime or composite?
