To determine if 113 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 113.
If the factors of 113 are only 113 and 1, then we know that 113 is a prime number. Otherwise, 113 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 113 is only divisible by 1 and 113, then it is a prime number, and if 113 is divisible by more than 113 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 113 are as follows:
1, 113
Therefore, since 113 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 113 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 114 prime or composite?
