To determine if 1126 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1126.
If the factors of 1126 are only 1126 and 1, then we know that 1126 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1126 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1126 is only divisible by 1 and 1126, then it is a prime number, and if 1126 is divisible by more than 1126 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1126 are as follows:
1, 2, 563, 1126
Therefore, since 1126 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1126 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1127 prime or composite?
