To determine if 1074 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1074.
If the factors of 1074 are only 1074 and 1, then we know that 1074 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1074 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1074 is only divisible by 1 and 1074, then it is a prime number, and if 1074 is divisible by more than 1074 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1074 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 179, 358, 537, 1074
Therefore, since 1074 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1074 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1075 prime or composite?
