To determine if 1414 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1414.
If the factors of 1414 are only 1414 and 1, then we know that 1414 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1414 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1414 is only divisible by 1 and 1414, then it is a prime number, and if 1414 is divisible by more than 1414 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1414 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 101, 202, 707, 1414
Therefore, since 1414 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1414 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
