To determine if 1295 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1295.
If the factors of 1295 are only 1295 and 1, then we know that 1295 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1295 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1295 is only divisible by 1 and 1295, then it is a prime number, and if 1295 is divisible by more than 1295 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1295 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 35, 37, 185, 259, 1295
Therefore, since 1295 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1295 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1296 prime or composite?
