To determine if 1892 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1892.
If the factors of 1892 are only 1892 and 1, then we know that 1892 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1892 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1892 is only divisible by 1 and 1892, then it is a prime number, and if 1892 is divisible by more than 1892 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1892 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 43, 44, 86, 172, 473, 946, 1892
Therefore, since 1892 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1892 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1893 prime or composite?
