To determine if 1174 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1174.
If the factors of 1174 are only 1174 and 1, then we know that 1174 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1174 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1174 is only divisible by 1 and 1174, then it is a prime number, and if 1174 is divisible by more than 1174 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1174 are as follows:
1, 2, 587, 1174
Therefore, since 1174 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1174 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
