To determine if 1166 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1166.
If the factors of 1166 are only 1166 and 1, then we know that 1166 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1166 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1166 is only divisible by 1 and 1166, then it is a prime number, and if 1166 is divisible by more than 1166 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1166 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 53, 106, 583, 1166
Therefore, since 1166 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1166 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
