To determine if 1313 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1313.
If the factors of 1313 are only 1313 and 1, then we know that 1313 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1313 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1313 is only divisible by 1 and 1313, then it is a prime number, and if 1313 is divisible by more than 1313 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1313 are as follows:
1, 13, 101, 1313
Therefore, since 1313 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1313 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1314 prime or composite?
