To determine if 1160 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1160.
If the factors of 1160 are only 1160 and 1, then we know that 1160 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1160 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1160 is only divisible by 1 and 1160, then it is a prime number, and if 1160 is divisible by more than 1160 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1160 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 29, 40, 58, 116, 145, 232, 290, 580, 1160
Therefore, since 1160 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1160 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1161 prime or composite?
