To determine if 1081 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1081.
If the factors of 1081 are only 1081 and 1, then we know that 1081 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1081 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1081 is only divisible by 1 and 1081, then it is a prime number, and if 1081 is divisible by more than 1081 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1081 are as follows:
1, 23, 47, 1081
Therefore, since 1081 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1081 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1082 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1081 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.
