To determine if 1293 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1293.
If the factors of 1293 are only 1293 and 1, then we know that 1293 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1293 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1293 is only divisible by 1 and 1293, then it is a prime number, and if 1293 is divisible by more than 1293 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1293 are as follows:
1, 3, 431, 1293
Therefore, since 1293 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1293 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1294 prime or composite?
