To determine if 1343 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1343.
If the factors of 1343 are only 1343 and 1, then we know that 1343 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1343 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1343 is only divisible by 1 and 1343, then it is a prime number, and if 1343 is divisible by more than 1343 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1343 are as follows:
1, 17, 79, 1343
Therefore, since 1343 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1343 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
