To determine if 1101 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1101.
If the factors of 1101 are only 1101 and 1, then we know that 1101 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1101 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1101 is only divisible by 1 and 1101, then it is a prime number, and if 1101 is divisible by more than 1101 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1101 are as follows:
1, 3, 367, 1101
Therefore, since 1101 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1101 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1102 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1101 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
