To determine if 1756 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1756.
If the factors of 1756 are only 1756 and 1, then we know that 1756 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1756 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1756 is only divisible by 1 and 1756, then it is a prime number, and if 1756 is divisible by more than 1756 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1756 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 439, 878, 1756
Therefore, since 1756 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1756 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
