To determine if 1092 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1092.
If the factors of 1092 are only 1092 and 1, then we know that 1092 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1092 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1092 is only divisible by 1 and 1092, then it is a prime number, and if 1092 is divisible by more than 1092 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1092 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 21, 26, 28, 39, 42, 52, 78, 84, 91, 156, 182, 273, 364, 546, 1092
Therefore, since 1092 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1092 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1093 prime or composite?
