To determine if 1031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1031.
If the factors of 1031 are only 1031 and 1, then we know that 1031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1031 is only divisible by 1 and 1031, then it is a prime number, and if 1031 is divisible by more than 1031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1031 are as follows:
1, 1031
Therefore, since 1031 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 1032 prime or composite?
