To determine if 1848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1848.
If the factors of 1848 are only 1848 and 1, then we know that 1848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1848 is only divisible by 1 and 1848, then it is a prime number, and if 1848 is divisible by more than 1848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1848 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 21, 22, 24, 28, 33, 42, 44, 56, 66, 77, 84, 88, 132, 154, 168, 231, 264, 308, 462, 616, 924, 1848
Therefore, since 1848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
