To determine if 1342 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1342.
If the factors of 1342 are only 1342 and 1, then we know that 1342 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1342 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1342 is only divisible by 1 and 1342, then it is a prime number, and if 1342 is divisible by more than 1342 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1342 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 61, 122, 671, 1342
Therefore, since 1342 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1342 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
