To determine if 1088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1088.
If the factors of 1088 are only 1088 and 1, then we know that 1088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1088 is only divisible by 1 and 1088, then it is a prime number, and if 1088 is divisible by more than 1088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1088 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 32, 34, 64, 68, 136, 272, 544, 1088
Therefore, since 1088 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1088 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1089 prime or composite?
