Which of the following is NOT a prime number?1. 10012. 13013. 16014. 1901

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1001

Given: 

1001, 1301, 1601 and 1901

Concept used: 

A prime number is a positive integer having exactly two factors. If p is a prime, then it’s only factors are necessarily 1 and p itself. Any number which does not follow this is termed as composite numbers, which means that they can be factored into other positive integers.

Calculation: 

1001 = 1 × 7 × 11 × 13 

1301 = 1 × 1301 

1601 = 1 × 1601 

1901 = 1 × 1901 

1001 is the number with more than two factors 

∴ The correct answer is 1001
