To determine if 614 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 614.
If the factors of 614 are only 614 and 1, then we know that 614 is a prime number. Otherwise, 614 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 614 is only divisible by 1 and 614, then it is a prime number, and if 614 is divisible by more than 614 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 614 are as follows:
1, 2, 307, 614
Therefore, since 614 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 614 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 615 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 614 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
