To determine if 1318 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1318.
If the factors of 1318 are only 1318 and 1, then we know that 1318 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1318 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1318 is only divisible by 1 and 1318, then it is a prime number, and if 1318 is divisible by more than 1318 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1318 are as follows:
1, 2, 659, 1318
Therefore, since 1318 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1318 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1319 prime or composite?
