To determine if 1308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1308.
If the factors of 1308 are only 1308 and 1, then we know that 1308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1308 is only divisible by 1 and 1308, then it is a prime number, and if 1308 is divisible by more than 1308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1308 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 109, 218, 327, 436, 654, 1308
Therefore, since 1308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1309 prime or composite?
