To determine if 1294 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1294.
If the factors of 1294 are only 1294 and 1, then we know that 1294 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1294 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1294 is only divisible by 1 and 1294, then it is a prime number, and if 1294 is divisible by more than 1294 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1294 are as follows:
1, 2, 647, 1294
Therefore, since 1294 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1294 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
