To determine if 1136 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1136.
If the factors of 1136 are only 1136 and 1, then we know that 1136 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1136 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1136 is only divisible by 1 and 1136, then it is a prime number, and if 1136 is divisible by more than 1136 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1136 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 71, 142, 284, 568, 1136
Therefore, since 1136 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1136 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
