To determine if 1047 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1047.
If the factors of 1047 are only 1047 and 1, then we know that 1047 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1047 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1047 is only divisible by 1 and 1047, then it is a prime number, and if 1047 is divisible by more than 1047 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1047 are as follows:
1, 3, 349, 1047
Therefore, since 1047 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1047 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1048 prime or composite?
