To determine if 1011 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1011.
If the factors of 1011 are only 1011 and 1, then we know that 1011 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1011 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1011 is only divisible by 1 and 1011, then it is a prime number, and if 1011 is divisible by more than 1011 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1011 are as follows:
1, 3, 337, 1011
Therefore, since 1011 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1011 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1012 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1011 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.
