To determine if 1534 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1534.
If the factors of 1534 are only 1534 and 1, then we know that 1534 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1534 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1534 is only divisible by 1 and 1534, then it is a prime number, and if 1534 is divisible by more than 1534 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1534 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 59, 118, 767, 1534
Therefore, since 1534 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1534 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
