To determine if 1060 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1060.
If the factors of 1060 are only 1060 and 1, then we know that 1060 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1060 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1060 is only divisible by 1 and 1060, then it is a prime number, and if 1060 is divisible by more than 1060 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1060 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 53, 106, 212, 265, 530, 1060
Therefore, since 1060 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1060 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1061 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1060 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.
