To determine if 1594 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1594.
If the factors of 1594 are only 1594 and 1, then we know that 1594 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1594 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1594 is only divisible by 1 and 1594, then it is a prime number, and if 1594 is divisible by more than 1594 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1594 are as follows:
