To determine if 1437 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1437.
If the factors of 1437 are only 1437 and 1, then we know that 1437 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1437 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1437 is only divisible by 1 and 1437, then it is a prime number, and if 1437 is divisible by more than 1437 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1437 are as follows:
1, 3, 479, 1437
Therefore, since 1437 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1437 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
