To determine if 1014 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1014.
If the factors of 1014 are only 1014 and 1, then we know that 1014 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1014 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1014 is only divisible by 1 and 1014, then it is a prime number, and if 1014 is divisible by more than 1014 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1014 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78, 169, 338, 507, 1014
Therefore, since 1014 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1014 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1015 prime or composite?
