To determine if 1061 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1061.
If the factors of 1061 are only 1061 and 1, then we know that 1061 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1061 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1061 is only divisible by 1 and 1061, then it is a prime number, and if 1061 is divisible by more than 1061 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1061 are as follows:
1, 1061
Therefore, since 1061 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1061 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 1062 prime or composite?
