To determine if 1394 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1394.
If the factors of 1394 are only 1394 and 1, then we know that 1394 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1394 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1394 is only divisible by 1 and 1394, then it is a prime number, and if 1394 is divisible by more than 1394 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1394 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 41, 82, 697, 1394
Therefore, since 1394 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1394 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
