To determine if 1441 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1441.
If the factors of 1441 are only 1441 and 1, then we know that 1441 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1441 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1441 is only divisible by 1 and 1441, then it is a prime number, and if 1441 is divisible by more than 1441 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1441 are as follows:
1, 11, 131, 1441
Therefore, since 1441 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1441 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1442 prime or composite?
