Factors of 1016:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 1016, we found that 1016 has factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016. Hence, we must say that 1016 is a composite number.
- Thus, 1016 is the composite umber.
- If we multiply 1016 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 1016 which are 1016, 2032 and so on.
About the number 1016:
- 1016 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016 and hence it is the composite number.
- 1016 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 1016 by 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016 are the factors of 1016.
Note:
- 1016 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 1016: 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016
- Prime factors of 1016: 2, 127
Conclusion:
- 1016 is the composite number which has factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508 and 1016
- And hence, 1016 is not the prime number.
