To determine if 1169 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1169.
If the factors of 1169 are only 1169 and 1, then we know that 1169 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1169 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1169 is only divisible by 1 and 1169, then it is a prime number, and if 1169 is divisible by more than 1169 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1169 are as follows:
1, 7, 167, 1169
Therefore, since 1169 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1169 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
