To determine if 1122 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1122.
If the factors of 1122 are only 1122 and 1, then we know that 1122 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1122 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1122 is only divisible by 1 and 1122, then it is a prime number, and if 1122 is divisible by more than 1122 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1122 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 17, 22, 33, 34, 51, 66, 102, 187, 374, 561, 1122
Therefore, since 1122 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1122 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1123 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 1122 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
