To determine if 1932 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1932.
If the factors of 1932 are only 1932 and 1, then we know that 1932 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1932 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1932 is only divisible by 1 and 1932, then it is a prime number, and if 1932 is divisible by more than 1932 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1932 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 23, 28, 42, 46, 69, 84, 92, 138, 161, 276, 322, 483, 644, 966, 1932
Therefore, since 1932 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1932 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1933 prime or composite?
