To determine if 1424 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1424.
If the factors of 1424 are only 1424 and 1, then we know that 1424 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1424 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1424 is only divisible by 1 and 1424, then it is a prime number, and if 1424 is divisible by more than 1424 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1424 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 89, 178, 356, 712, 1424
Therefore, since 1424 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1424 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
