To determine if 1916 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1916.
If the factors of 1916 are only 1916 and 1, then we know that 1916 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1916 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1916 is only divisible by 1 and 1916, then it is a prime number, and if 1916 is divisible by more than 1916 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1916 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 479, 958, 1916
Therefore, since 1916 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1916 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1917 prime or composite?
