To determine if 1494 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1494.
If the factors of 1494 are only 1494 and 1, then we know that 1494 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1494 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1494 is only divisible by 1 and 1494, then it is a prime number, and if 1494 is divisible by more than 1494 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1494 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 83, 166, 249, 498, 747, 1494
Therefore, since 1494 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1494 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
