To determine if 1768 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1768.
If the factors of 1768 are only 1768 and 1, then we know that 1768 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1768 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1768 is only divisible by 1 and 1768, then it is a prime number, and if 1768 is divisible by more than 1768 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1768 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 104, 136, 221, 442, 884, 1768
Therefore, since 1768 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1768 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1769 prime or composite?
