To determine if 1884 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1884.
If the factors of 1884 are only 1884 and 1, then we know that 1884 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1884 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1884 is only divisible by 1 and 1884, then it is a prime number, and if 1884 is divisible by more than 1884 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1884 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 157, 314, 471, 628, 942, 1884
Therefore, since 1884 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1884 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
