To determine if 1833 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1833.
If the factors of 1833 are only 1833 and 1, then we know that 1833 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1833 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1833 is only divisible by 1 and 1833, then it is a prime number, and if 1833 is divisible by more than 1833 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1833 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 47, 141, 611, 1833
Therefore, since 1833 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1833 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1834 prime or composite?
