Here’s a little bit more about the number 1097:

How do we know that 1097 is a prime number? If 1097 were not a prime number, then it would be divisible by at least one prime number less than or equal to √1097 ≈ 33.1. Since 1097 cannot be divided evenly by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 or 31, we know that 1097 is a prime number.

1097 is the final prime number in the prime triplet, 1091-1093-1097.

1097 is the sum of two squares:
29² + 16² = 1097

1097 is the hypotenuse of a primitive Pythagorean triple:
585-928-1097 calculated from 29² – 16², 2(29)(16), 29² + 16²

Here’s another way we know that 1097 is a prime number: Since its last two digits divided by 4 leave a remainder of 1, and 29² + 16² = 1097 with 29 and 16 having no common prime factors, 1097 will be prime unless it is divisible by a prime number Pythagorean triple hypotenuse less than or equal to √1097 ≈ 33.1. Since 1097 is not divisible by 5, 13, 17, or 29, we know that 1097 is a prime number.
