To determine if 1082 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1082.
If the factors of 1082 are only 1082 and 1, then we know that 1082 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1082 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1082 is only divisible by 1 and 1082, then it is a prime number, and if 1082 is divisible by more than 1082 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1082 are as follows:
1, 2, 541, 1082
Therefore, since 1082 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1082 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1083 prime or composite?
