To determine if 1828 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1828.
If the factors of 1828 are only 1828 and 1, then we know that 1828 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1828 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1828 is only divisible by 1 and 1828, then it is a prime number, and if 1828 is divisible by more than 1828 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1828 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 457, 914, 1828
Therefore, since 1828 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1828 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
