To determine if 1344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1344.
If the factors of 1344 are only 1344 and 1, then we know that 1344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1344 is only divisible by 1 and 1344, then it is a prime number, and if 1344 is divisible by more than 1344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1344 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 64, 84, 96, 112, 168, 192, 224, 336, 448, 672, 1344
Therefore, since 1344 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1344 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
