To determine if 1182 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1182.
If the factors of 1182 are only 1182 and 1, then we know that 1182 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1182 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1182 is only divisible by 1 and 1182, then it is a prime number, and if 1182 is divisible by more than 1182 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1182 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 197, 394, 591, 1182
Therefore, since 1182 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1182 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
