To determine if 1835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1835.
If the factors of 1835 are only 1835 and 1, then we know that 1835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1835 is only divisible by 1 and 1835, then it is a prime number, and if 1835 is divisible by more than 1835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1835 are as follows:
1, 5, 367, 1835
Therefore, since 1835 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1835 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1836 prime or composite?
