To determine if 1448 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1448.
If the factors of 1448 are only 1448 and 1, then we know that 1448 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1448 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1448 is only divisible by 1 and 1448, then it is a prime number, and if 1448 is divisible by more than 1448 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1448 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 181, 362, 724, 1448
Therefore, since 1448 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
