To determine if 1793 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1793.
If the factors of 1793 are only 1793 and 1, then we know that 1793 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1793 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1793 is only divisible by 1 and 1793, then it is a prime number, and if 1793 is divisible by more than 1793 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1793 are as follows:
1, 11, 163, 1793
Therefore, since 1793 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1793 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
