To determine if 1300 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1300.
If the factors of 1300 are only 1300 and 1, then we know that 1300 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1300 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1300 is only divisible by 1 and 1300, then it is a prime number, and if 1300 is divisible by more than 1300 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1300 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 25, 26, 50, 52, 65, 100, 130, 260, 325, 650, 1300
Therefore, since 1300 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1300 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1301 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1300 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
