To determine if 1467 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1467.
If the factors of 1467 are only 1467 and 1, then we know that 1467 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1467 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1467 is only divisible by 1 and 1467, then it is a prime number, and if 1467 is divisible by more than 1467 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1467 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 163, 489, 1467
Therefore, since 1467 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1467 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
