To determine if 1119 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1119.
If the factors of 1119 are only 1119 and 1, then we know that 1119 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1119 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1119 is only divisible by 1 and 1119, then it is a prime number, and if 1119 is divisible by more than 1119 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1119 are as follows:
1, 3, 373, 1119
Therefore, since 1119 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1119 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1120 prime or composite?
