To determine if 1084 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1084.
If the factors of 1084 are only 1084 and 1, then we know that 1084 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1084 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1084 is only divisible by 1 and 1084, then it is a prime number, and if 1084 is divisible by more than 1084 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1084 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 271, 542, 1084
Therefore, since 1084 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1084 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1085 prime or composite?
