To determine if 1183 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1183.
If the factors of 1183 are only 1183 and 1, then we know that 1183 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1183 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1183 is only divisible by 1 and 1183, then it is a prime number, and if 1183 is divisible by more than 1183 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1183 are as follows:
1, 7, 13, 91, 169, 1183
Therefore, since 1183 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1183 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1184 prime or composite?
