To determine if 1792 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1792.
If the factors of 1792 are only 1792 and 1, then we know that 1792 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1792 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1792 is only divisible by 1 and 1792, then it is a prime number, and if 1792 is divisible by more than 1792 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1792 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 256, 448, 896, 1792
Therefore, since 1792 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1792 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1793 prime or composite?
