To determine if 1064 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1064.
If the factors of 1064 are only 1064 and 1, then we know that 1064 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1064 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1064 is only divisible by 1 and 1064, then it is a prime number, and if 1064 is divisible by more than 1064 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1064 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 19, 28, 38, 56, 76, 133, 152, 266, 532, 1064
Therefore, since 1064 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1064 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1065 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1064 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.
