To determine if 1796 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1796.
If the factors of 1796 are only 1796 and 1, then we know that 1796 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1796 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1796 is only divisible by 1 and 1796, then it is a prime number, and if 1796 is divisible by more than 1796 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1796 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 449, 898, 1796
Therefore, since 1796 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1796 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1797 prime or composite?
