To determine if 1795 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1795.
If the factors of 1795 are only 1795 and 1, then we know that 1795 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1795 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1795 is only divisible by 1 and 1795, then it is a prime number, and if 1795 is divisible by more than 1795 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1795 are as follows:
