To determine if 1814 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1814.
If the factors of 1814 are only 1814 and 1, then we know that 1814 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1814 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1814 is only divisible by 1 and 1814, then it is a prime number, and if 1814 is divisible by more than 1814 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1814 are as follows:
1, 2, 907, 1814
Therefore, since 1814 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1814 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1815 prime or composite?
