To determine if 1062 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1062.
If the factors of 1062 are only 1062 and 1, then we know that 1062 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1062 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1062 is only divisible by 1 and 1062, then it is a prime number, and if 1062 is divisible by more than 1062 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1062 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 59, 118, 177, 354, 531, 1062
Therefore, since 1062 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1062 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1063 prime or composite?
