To determine if 1849 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1849.
If the factors of 1849 are only 1849 and 1, then we know that 1849 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1849 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1849 is only divisible by 1 and 1849, then it is a prime number, and if 1849 is divisible by more than 1849 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1849 are as follows:
