To determine if 1006 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1006.
If the factors of 1006 are only 1006 and 1, then we know that 1006 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1006 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1006 is only divisible by 1 and 1006, then it is a prime number, and if 1006 is divisible by more than 1006 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1006 are as follows:
1, 2, 503, 1006
Therefore, since 1006 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1006 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1007 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1006 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.
