To determine if 1362 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1362.
If the factors of 1362 are only 1362 and 1, then we know that 1362 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1362 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1362 is only divisible by 1 and 1362, then it is a prime number, and if 1362 is divisible by more than 1362 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1362 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 227, 454, 681, 1362
Therefore, since 1362 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1362 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1363 prime or composite?
