<p>The method in which we count the number of divisors to categorize the numbers as prime or composite is called the counting divisors method. Based on the count of the divisors, we categorize prime and composite numbers. If there is a total count of only 2 divisors, then the number would be prime. If the count is more than 2, then the number is composite. Let’s check whether 1429 is prime or composite.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>All numbers are divisible by 1 and itself.</p>
20
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 1429 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 1429.</p>
20
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 1429 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 1429.</p>
21
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 1429 by 3. It is not divisible by 3, so 3 is not a factor of 1429.</p>
21
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 1429 by 3. It is not divisible by 3, so 3 is not a factor of 1429.</p>
22
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 1429 by finding the root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the root value.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 1429 by finding the root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the root value.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>When we divide 1429 by numbers up to approximately 38, it is not divisible by any except 1 and 1429. Since 1429 has only 2 divisors, it is a prime number.</p>

<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The unit’s place digit is 9. Therefore, 1429 is not divisible by 5.</p>
31
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>The last digit in 1429 is 9. To check divisibility by 7, double the last digit (9 × 2 = 18). Then, subtract it from the rest of the number (142 - 18 = 124). Since 124 is not divisible by 7, 1429 is also not divisible by 7.</p>
