To determine if 1894 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1894.
If the factors of 1894 are only 1894 and 1, then we know that 1894 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1894 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1894 is only divisible by 1 and 1894, then it is a prime number, and if 1894 is divisible by more than 1894 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1894 are as follows:
