<p>The numbers that have only two factors, which are 1 and itself, are called prime numbers. Prime numbers are used in encryption, computer algorithms, and barcode generation. In this topic, we will be discussing whether 1008 is a prime number or not.</p>

<h2>Why is 1008 Not a Prime Number?</h2>
15
-
<p>The characteristic of a prime number is that it has only two divisors: 1 and itself. Since 1008 has more than two factors, it is not a prime number. A few methods are used to distinguish between prime and composite numbers:</p>

</ul><h3>Using the Counting Divisors Method</h3>
21
-
<p>The method in which we count the number of divisors to categorize numbers as prime or composite is called the counting divisors method. Based on the count of the divisors, we categorize prime and composite numbers.</p>
22
-
<p>If there is a total count of only 2 divisors, then the number would be prime.</p>
23
-
<p>If the count is more than 2, then the number is composite. Let’s check whether 1008 is prime or composite.</p>
24
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>All numbers are divisible by 1 and itself.</p>
25
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 1008 by 2. It is divisible by 2, so 2 is a factor of 1008.</p>
26
-
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 1008 by 3. It is divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor of 1008.</p>
27
-
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 1008 by finding the root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the root value.</p>
28
-
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>When we divide 1008 by numbers like 2, 3, 4, etc., it has<a>multiple</a>divisors. Since 1008 has more than 2 divisors, it is a composite number.</p>

<h3>Using the Divisibility Test Method</h3>
32
-
<p>We use a<a>set</a><a>of rules</a>to check whether a number is divisible by another number completely or not. It is called the Divisibility Test Method.</p>
33
-
<p><strong>Divisibility by 2:</strong>The number in the ones'<a>place value</a>is 8. 8 is an<a>even number</a>, which means that 1008 is divisible by 2.</p>
34
-
<p><strong>Divisibility by 3:</strong>The<a>sum</a>of the digits in the number 1008 is 9 (1+0+0+8). Since 9 is divisible by 3, 1008 is also divisible by 3.</p>
35
-
<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The unit’s place digit is 8. Therefore, 1008 is not divisible by 5.</p>
36
-
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Double the last digit (8×2=16), and subtract it from the rest of the number (100-16=84). 84 is divisible by 7, so 1008 is divisible by 7.</p>
37
-
<p><strong>Divisibility by 11:</strong>In 1008, the sum of the digits in odd positions is 9, and the sum of the digits in even positions is 0. The difference is 9, which is not divisible by 11. Since 1008 is divisible by multiple numbers, it has more than two factors.</p>
38
-
<p>Therefore, it is a composite number.</p>

<h3>Using Prime Number Chart</h3>
40
-
<p>The prime number chart is a tool created by using a method called “The Sieve of Eratosthenes.” In this method, we follow the following steps.</p>
41
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Write 1 to 100 in 10 rows and 10 columns.</p>
42
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Leave 1 without coloring or crossing, as it is neither prime nor composite.</p>
43
-
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Mark 2 because it is a prime number and cross out all the multiples of 2.</p>
44
-
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Mark 3 because it is a prime number and cross out all the multiples of 3.</p>
45
-
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Repeat this process until you reach the table consisting of marked and crossed boxes, except 1. Through this process, we will have a list of prime numbers from 1 to 100. Since 1008 is not present in this list, it is a composite number.</p>
46
-
<h3>Using the Prime Factorization Method</h3>
47
-
<p>Prime factorization is a process of breaking down a number into<a>prime factors</a>. Then multiply those factors to obtain the original number.</p>
48
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>We can write 1008 as 2×504.</p>
49
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>In 2×504, 504 is a composite number. Further break 504 into 2×252.</p>
50
-
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Continue the process: 252 can be broken into 2×126, and 126 into 2×63, and finally, 63 into 3×21, and 21 into 3×7.</p>
51
-
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now we get the<a>product</a>consisting of only prime numbers. Hence, the prime factorization of 1008 is 2×2×2×2×3×3×7.</p>
