To determine if 1051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1051.
If the factors of 1051 are only 1051 and 1, then we know that 1051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1051 is only divisible by 1 and 1051, then it is a prime number, and if 1051 is divisible by more than 1051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1051 are as follows:
1, 1051
Therefore, since 1051 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1051 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 1052 prime or composite?
