To determine if 414 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 414.
If the factors of 414 are only 414 and 1, then we know that 414 is a prime number. Otherwise, 414 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 414 is only divisible by 1 and 414, then it is a prime number, and if 414 is divisible by more than 414 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 414 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 23, 46, 69, 138, 207, 414
Therefore, since 414 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 414 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 415 prime or composite?
