To determine if 1967 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1967.
If the factors of 1967 are only 1967 and 1, then we know that 1967 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1967 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1967 is only divisible by 1 and 1967, then it is a prime number, and if 1967 is divisible by more than 1967 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1967 are as follows:
1, 7, 281, 1967
Therefore, since 1967 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1967 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
