To determine if 1495 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1495.
If the factors of 1495 are only 1495 and 1, then we know that 1495 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1495 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1495 is only divisible by 1 and 1495, then it is a prime number, and if 1495 is divisible by more than 1495 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1495 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 23, 65, 115, 299, 1495
Therefore, since 1495 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1495 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
