To determine if 1164 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1164.
If the factors of 1164 are only 1164 and 1, then we know that 1164 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1164 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1164 is only divisible by 1 and 1164, then it is a prime number, and if 1164 is divisible by more than 1164 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1164 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 97, 194, 291, 388, 582, 1164
Therefore, since 1164 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1164 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
