To determine if 1748 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1748.
If the factors of 1748 are only 1748 and 1, then we know that 1748 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1748 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1748 is only divisible by 1 and 1748, then it is a prime number, and if 1748 is divisible by more than 1748 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1748 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 23, 38, 46, 76, 92, 437, 874, 1748
Therefore, since 1748 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1748 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
