To determine if 1832 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1832.
If the factors of 1832 are only 1832 and 1, then we know that 1832 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1832 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1832 is only divisible by 1 and 1832, then it is a prime number, and if 1832 is divisible by more than 1832 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1832 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 229, 458, 916, 1832
Therefore, since 1832 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1832 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1833 prime or composite?
