To determine if 1412 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1412.
If the factors of 1412 are only 1412 and 1, then we know that 1412 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1412 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1412 is only divisible by 1 and 1412, then it is a prime number, and if 1412 is divisible by more than 1412 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1412 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 353, 706, 1412
Therefore, since 1412 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1412 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1413 prime or composite?
