To determine if 1107 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1107.
If the factors of 1107 are only 1107 and 1, then we know that 1107 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1107 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1107 is only divisible by 1 and 1107, then it is a prime number, and if 1107 is divisible by more than 1107 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1107 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 41, 123, 369, 1107
Therefore, since 1107 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1107 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1108 prime or composite?
