To determine if 1360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1360.
If the factors of 1360 are only 1360 and 1, then we know that 1360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1360 is only divisible by 1 and 1360, then it is a prime number, and if 1360 is divisible by more than 1360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1360 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 17, 20, 34, 40, 68, 80, 85, 136, 170, 272, 340, 680, 1360
Therefore, since 1360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1361 prime or composite?
