To determine if 1112 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1112.
If the factors of 1112 are only 1112 and 1, then we know that 1112 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1112 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1112 is only divisible by 1 and 1112, then it is a prime number, and if 1112 is divisible by more than 1112 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1112 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 139, 278, 556, 1112
Therefore, since 1112 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1112 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1113 prime or composite?
