Here are a few facts about the number 1321:

• 1321 is a prime number.
• Prime factorization: 1321 is prime.
• The exponent of prime number 1321 is 1. Adding 1 to that exponent we get (1 + 1) = 2. Therefore 1321 has exactly 2 factors.
• Factors of 1321: 1, 1321
• Factor pairs: 1321 = 1 × 1321
• 1321 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √1321 ≈ 36.34556

How do we know that 1321 is a prime number? If 1321 were not a prime number, then it would be divisible by at least one prime number less than or equal to √1321 ≈ 36.3. Since 1321 cannot be divided evenly by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 or 31, we know that 1321 is a prime number.

 

1321 is the sum of nine consecutive prime numbers:
127 + 131 + 137 + 139 + 149 + 151 + 157 + 163 + 167 = 1321

1321 is the sum of two squares:
36² +  5² = 1321

1321 is the hypotenuse of a primitive Pythagorean triple:
360-1271-1321 calculated from 2(36)(5), 36² –  5², 36² +  5²

Here’s another way we know that 1321 is a prime number: Since its last two digits divided by 4 leave a remainder of 1, and 36² + 5² = 1321 with 36 and 5 having no common prime factors, 1321 will be prime unless it is divisible by a prime number Pythagorean triple hypotenuse less than or equal to √1321 ≈ 36.3. Since 1321 is not divisible by 5, 13, 17, or 29, we know that 1321 is a prime number.
