To determine if 1444 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1444.
If the factors of 1444 are only 1444 and 1, then we know that 1444 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1444 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1444 is only divisible by 1 and 1444, then it is a prime number, and if 1444 is divisible by more than 1444 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1444 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76, 361, 722, 1444
Therefore, since 1444 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
