To determine if 1824 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1824.
If the factors of 1824 are only 1824 and 1, then we know that 1824 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1824 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1824 is only divisible by 1 and 1824, then it is a prime number, and if 1824 is divisible by more than 1824 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1824 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 24, 32, 38, 48, 57, 76, 96, 114, 152, 228, 304, 456, 608, 912, 1824
Therefore, since 1824 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1824 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1825 prime or composite?
