To determine if 1358 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1358.
If the factors of 1358 are only 1358 and 1, then we know that 1358 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1358 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1358 is only divisible by 1 and 1358, then it is a prime number, and if 1358 is divisible by more than 1358 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1358 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 97, 194, 679, 1358
Therefore, since 1358 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1358 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
