To determine if 1070 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1070.
If the factors of 1070 are only 1070 and 1, then we know that 1070 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1070 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1070 is only divisible by 1 and 1070, then it is a prime number, and if 1070 is divisible by more than 1070 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1070 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 107, 214, 535, 1070
Therefore, since 1070 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1070 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1071 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1070 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.
