To determine if 1034 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1034.
If the factors of 1034 are only 1034 and 1, then we know that 1034 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1034 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1034 is only divisible by 1 and 1034, then it is a prime number, and if 1034 is divisible by more than 1034 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1034 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 47, 94, 517, 1034
Therefore, since 1034 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1034 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1035 prime or composite?
