To determine if 1927 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1927.
If the factors of 1927 are only 1927 and 1, then we know that 1927 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1927 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1927 is only divisible by 1 and 1927, then it is a prime number, and if 1927 is divisible by more than 1927 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1927 are as follows:
1, 41, 47, 1927
Therefore, since 1927 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1927 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
