To determine if 1784 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1784.
If the factors of 1784 are only 1784 and 1, then we know that 1784 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1784 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1784 is only divisible by 1 and 1784, then it is a prime number, and if 1784 is divisible by more than 1784 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1784 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 223, 446, 892, 1784
Therefore, since 1784 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1784 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
