To determine if 1418 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1418.
If the factors of 1418 are only 1418 and 1, then we know that 1418 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1418 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1418 is only divisible by 1 and 1418, then it is a prime number, and if 1418 is divisible by more than 1418 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1418 are as follows:
1, 2, 709, 1418
Therefore, since 1418 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1418 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1419 prime or composite?
