To determine if 1469 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1469.
If the factors of 1469 are only 1469 and 1, then we know that 1469 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1469 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1469 is only divisible by 1 and 1469, then it is a prime number, and if 1469 is divisible by more than 1469 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1469 are as follows:
1, 13, 113, 1469
Therefore, since 1469 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1469 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
