To determine if 1757 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1757.
If the factors of 1757 are only 1757 and 1, then we know that 1757 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1757 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1757 is only divisible by 1 and 1757, then it is a prime number, and if 1757 is divisible by more than 1757 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1757 are as follows:
