Why is 1621 a prime number?

A number is considered prime if it has only two factors: 1 and the number itself. Since 1621 meets this criterion, it is a prime number.


Below are some commonly used methods to verify if a number is prime or composite.

Methods to check if a number is a prime number:

  1. Counting Divisors Method
  2. Divisibility Test
  3. Prime Number Chart
  4. Prime Factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using the Counting Divisors Method

In this method, we count the total divisors of the number.


For 1621:


Divisors of 1621 = 1, 1621
Number of divisors = 2


Since 1621, there have been only 2 divisors, which is a prime number.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using the Divisibility Method

Here, the number is tested for divisibility by smaller prime numbers (like 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.).


1621 is not divisible by any smaller prime number, confirming it has no divisors other than 1 and itself.
Thus, 1621 qualifies as a prime number.

Using the Prime Number Chart

A prime number chart lists all prime numbers starting from 2 onward.


The list of prime numbers from 1600 to 1700 are:
1601, 1607, 1609, 1613, 1619, 1621, 1627, 1637, 1657, 1663, 1667, 1669, 1693, 1697, 1699


Since 1621 is present in this list, it is a prime number.
