To determine if 1769 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1769.
If the factors of 1769 are only 1769 and 1, then we know that 1769 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1769 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1769 is only divisible by 1 and 1769, then it is a prime number, and if 1769 is divisible by more than 1769 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1769 are as follows:
