13 is a Prime number
13 is a prime number, because there are no two numbers that multiply to get 13.
It is a prime number because no number can go into it or be multiplied and the answer be 13.

Only two numbers go into 13.

The two numbers:

1;13

One and thirteen (itself)

1 is neither prime or composite.

So concluding, 13 is a prime number.

13 is a prime number. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. Since the only factors of 13 are 1 and 13, it is a prime number.
