To determine if 1435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1435.
If the factors of 1435 are only 1435 and 1, then we know that 1435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1435 is only divisible by 1 and 1435, then it is a prime number, and if 1435 is divisible by more than 1435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1435 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 35, 41, 205, 287, 1435
Therefore, since 1435 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1435 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1436 prime or composite?
