To determine if 1336 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1336.
If the factors of 1336 are only 1336 and 1, then we know that 1336 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1336 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1336 is only divisible by 1 and 1336, then it is a prime number, and if 1336 is divisible by more than 1336 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1336 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 167, 334, 668, 1336
Therefore, since 1336 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1336 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1337 prime or composite?
