To determine if 1334 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1334.
If the factors of 1334 are only 1334 and 1, then we know that 1334 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1334 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1334 is only divisible by 1 and 1334, then it is a prime number, and if 1334 is divisible by more than 1334 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1334 are as follows:
1, 2, 23, 29, 46, 58, 667, 1334
Therefore, since 1334 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1334 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1335 prime or composite?
