To determine if 1013 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1013.
If the factors of 1013 are only 1013 and 1, then we know that 1013 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1013 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1013 is only divisible by 1 and 1013, then it is a prime number, and if 1013 is divisible by more than 1013 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1013 are as follows:
1, 1013
Therefore, since 1013 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1013 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
