To determine if 1864 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1864.
If the factors of 1864 are only 1864 and 1, then we know that 1864 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1864 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1864 is only divisible by 1 and 1864, then it is a prime number, and if 1864 is divisible by more than 1864 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1864 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 233, 466, 932, 1864
Therefore, since 1864 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1864 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1865 prime or composite?
