To determine if 1162 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1162.
If the factors of 1162 are only 1162 and 1, then we know that 1162 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1162 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1162 is only divisible by 1 and 1162, then it is a prime number, and if 1162 is divisible by more than 1162 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1162 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 83, 166, 581, 1162
Therefore, since 1162 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1162 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
