To determine if 1118 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1118.
If the factors of 1118 are only 1118 and 1, then we know that 1118 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1118 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1118 is only divisible by 1 and 1118, then it is a prime number, and if 1118 is divisible by more than 1118 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1118 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 43, 86, 559, 1118
Therefore, since 1118 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1118 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
