To determine if 1110 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1110.
If the factors of 1110 are only 1110 and 1, then we know that 1110 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1110 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1110 is only divisible by 1 and 1110, then it is a prime number, and if 1110 is divisible by more than 1110 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1110 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 37, 74, 111, 185, 222, 370, 555, 1110
Therefore, since 1110 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1110 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1111 prime or composite?
