To determine if 1749 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1749.
If the factors of 1749 are only 1749 and 1, then we know that 1749 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1749 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1749 is only divisible by 1 and 1749, then it is a prime number, and if 1749 is divisible by more than 1749 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1749 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 53, 159, 583, 1749
Therefore, since 1749 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
