14 is a composite number.

Any number that's not a Prime number is a composite number.

A prime number is a number that has no factors except ' 1 ' and itself.

The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14.

In addition to ' 1 ' and itself, 14 has two more factors.

Therefore, by definition, 14 is not a prime number, and is a composite number.
