To determine if 1180 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1180.
If the factors of 1180 are only 1180 and 1, then we know that 1180 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1180 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1180 is only divisible by 1 and 1180, then it is a prime number, and if 1180 is divisible by more than 1180 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1180 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 59, 118, 236, 295, 590, 1180
Therefore, since 1180 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1180 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1181 prime or composite?
