To determine if 1007 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1007.
If the factors of 1007 are only 1007 and 1, then we know that 1007 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1007 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1007 is only divisible by 1 and 1007, then it is a prime number, and if 1007 is divisible by more than 1007 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1007 are as follows:
1, 19, 53, 1007
Therefore, since 1007 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1007 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1008 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1007 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.
