To determine if 1029 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1029.
If the factors of 1029 are only 1029 and 1, then we know that 1029 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1029 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1029 is only divisible by 1 and 1029, then it is a prime number, and if 1029 is divisible by more than 1029 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1029 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147, 343, 1029
Therefore, since 1029 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1029 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1030 prime or composite?
