To determine if 1464 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1464.
If the factors of 1464 are only 1464 and 1, then we know that 1464 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1464 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1464 is only divisible by 1 and 1464, then it is a prime number, and if 1464 is divisible by more than 1464 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1464 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 488, 732, 1464
Therefore, since 1464 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1464 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1465 prime or composite?
