To determine if 1073 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1073.
If the factors of 1073 are only 1073 and 1, then we know that 1073 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1073 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1073 is only divisible by 1 and 1073, then it is a prime number, and if 1073 is divisible by more than 1073 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1073 are as follows:
1, 29, 37, 1073
Therefore, since 1073 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1073 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1074 prime or composite?
