To determine if 1474 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1474.
If the factors of 1474 are only 1474 and 1, then we know that 1474 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1474 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1474 is only divisible by 1 and 1474, then it is a prime number, and if 1474 is divisible by more than 1474 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1474 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 67, 134, 737, 1474
Therefore, since 1474 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1474 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
