To determine if 1926 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1926.
If the factors of 1926 are only 1926 and 1, then we know that 1926 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1926 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1926 is only divisible by 1 and 1926, then it is a prime number, and if 1926 is divisible by more than 1926 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1926 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 107, 214, 321, 642, 963, 1926
Therefore, since 1926 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1926 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
