To determine if 1096 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1096.
If the factors of 1096 are only 1096 and 1, then we know that 1096 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1096 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1096 is only divisible by 1 and 1096, then it is a prime number, and if 1096 is divisible by more than 1096 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1096 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 137, 274, 548, 1096
Therefore, since 1096 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1096 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1097 prime or composite?
