Prime numbers have only 1 and the number itself as factors. They are used in digital security and in securing digital payments. The topics below will help you gain more knowledge on prime numbers and how they are categorized.
The number 1433 has 2 factors, which are capable of dividing the number completely without leaving any remainder. Thus, the number 1433 is a prime number. The factors of 1433 include 1 and 1433.
A number to be a prime number should follow the criteria, which is that it should not have factors more than 2. Here, 1433 has only 2 factors, hence making it a prime number. Given below are a few ways that can be used to find prime or composite numbers.
The different methods we can use to check if a number is a prime number are explained below.
For the counting divisors method, it is to be checked whether the number is divisible by any numbers other than 1 and the number itself.
The counting divisors method for 1433 would simply be:
Divisors of 1433 = 1, 1433
Number of divisors = 2
Since the number 1433 has only 2 divisors, it is a prime number.
In the division test, we try to divide the number by any of the prime numbers. If we cannot, then it is considered a prime number.
In the divisibility method, a prime number only has 2 divisors, which are 1 and itself.
The divisors of 1433 are 1 and 1433.
Thus, 1433 consists of 2 factors that divide it completely without any remainder, confirming it is a prime number.
The prime number chart is the list of prime numbers starting from 2 to infinity.
The list of prime numbers from 1400 to 1500 are:
1409, 1423, 1427, 1429, 1433, 1439, 1447, 1451, 1453, 1459, 1471, 1481, 1483, 1487, 1489, 1493
1433 is present in this list, confirming it is a prime number.
This method is only used for a non-prime number/composite number. Since 1433 is a prime number, it does not have a prime factorization other than 1×1433.
Prime Number: A number greater than 1 has only two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers.
Divisor: A number that divides another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. For instance, 1 and 1433 are divisors of 1433.
Composite Number: A number that has more than two divisors, meaning it can be divided by numbers other than 1 and itself.
Divisibility Test: A method used to determine if a number is divisible by another number, typically prime numbers, to check for factors.
Prime Factorization: Breaking down a number into its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1433 is 1 × 1433.
