To determine if 1751 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1751.
If the factors of 1751 are only 1751 and 1, then we know that 1751 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1751 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1751 is only divisible by 1 and 1751, then it is a prime number, and if 1751 is divisible by more than 1751 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1751 are as follows:
1, 17, 103, 1751
Therefore, since 1751 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1751 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1752 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1751 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
