To determine if 1132 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1132.
If the factors of 1132 are only 1132 and 1, then we know that 1132 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1132 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1132 is only divisible by 1 and 1132, then it is a prime number, and if 1132 is divisible by more than 1132 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1132 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 283, 566, 1132
Therefore, since 1132 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1132 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1133 prime or composite?
