To determine if 1030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1030.
If the factors of 1030 are only 1030 and 1, then we know that 1030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1030 is only divisible by 1 and 1030, then it is a prime number, and if 1030 is divisible by more than 1030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1030 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 103, 206, 515, 1030
Therefore, since 1030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1031 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1030 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.
