To determine if 1766 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1766.
If the factors of 1766 are only 1766 and 1, then we know that 1766 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1766 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1766 is only divisible by 1 and 1766, then it is a prime number, and if 1766 is divisible by more than 1766 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1766 are as follows:
1, 2, 883, 1766
Therefore, since 1766 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1766 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
