To determine if 1874 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1874.
If the factors of 1874 are only 1874 and 1, then we know that 1874 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1874 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1874 is only divisible by 1 and 1874, then it is a prime number, and if 1874 is divisible by more than 1874 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1874 are as follows:
1, 2, 937, 1874
Therefore, since 1874 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1874 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1875 prime or composite?
