To determine if 1806 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1806.
If the factors of 1806 are only 1806 and 1, then we know that 1806 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1806 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1806 is only divisible by 1 and 1806, then it is a prime number, and if 1806 is divisible by more than 1806 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1806 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 43, 86, 129, 258, 301, 602, 903, 1806
Therefore, since 1806 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1806 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1807 prime or composite?
