To determine if 1829 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1829.
If the factors of 1829 are only 1829 and 1, then we know that 1829 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1829 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1829 is only divisible by 1 and 1829, then it is a prime number, and if 1829 is divisible by more than 1829 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1829 are as follows:
