To determine if 1752 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1752.
If the factors of 1752 are only 1752 and 1, then we know that 1752 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1752 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1752 is only divisible by 1 and 1752, then it is a prime number, and if 1752 is divisible by more than 1752 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1752 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 73, 146, 219, 292, 438, 584, 876, 1752
Therefore, since 1752 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1752 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1753 prime or composite?
