To determine if 1794 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1794.
If the factors of 1794 are only 1794 and 1, then we know that 1794 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1794 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1794 is only divisible by 1 and 1794, then it is a prime number, and if 1794 is divisible by more than 1794 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1794 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 23, 26, 39, 46, 69, 78, 138, 299, 598, 897, 1794
Therefore, since 1794 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1794 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1795 prime or composite?
