To determine if 1116 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1116.
If the factors of 1116 are only 1116 and 1, then we know that 1116 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1116 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1116 is only divisible by 1 and 1116, then it is a prime number, and if 1116 is divisible by more than 1116 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1116 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 31, 36, 62, 93, 124, 186, 279, 372, 558, 1116
Therefore, since 1116 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1116 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1117 prime or composite?
