It's prime. I'm not sure how you're "supposed to" figure that out, but I did it by taking all the prime numbers starting with 3 (you can at least can tell it's not divisible by 2, since it's not even!), and testing them out on a calculator until the other factor ended up being smaller than the one I was using, meaning I'd been through all of the possibilities (i.e., 1061/3, 1061/5, 1061/7, 1061/11, 1061/13, 1061/17, 1061/19, 1061/23, 1061/29, 1061/31, 1061/34).

People who are saying "a number has to be prime or composite" are wrong. The integer 1 is neither prime nor composite. For that matter, all non-integers are neither prime nor composite, since it only applies to integers. Try to find factor for any of these numbers other than 1 or itself. If you've found one, then the number is composite. Otherwise, it's prime.
