To determine if 1374 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1374.
If the factors of 1374 are only 1374 and 1, then we know that 1374 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1374 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1374 is only divisible by 1 and 1374, then it is a prime number, and if 1374 is divisible by more than 1374 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1374 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 229, 458, 687, 1374
Therefore, since 1374 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1374 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
