To determine if 1322 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1322.
If the factors of 1322 are only 1322 and 1, then we know that 1322 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1322 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1322 is only divisible by 1 and 1322, then it is a prime number, and if 1322 is divisible by more than 1322 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1322 are as follows:
1, 2, 661, 1322
Therefore, since 1322 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1322 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1323 prime or composite?
