To determine if 1188 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1188.
If the factors of 1188 are only 1188 and 1, then we know that 1188 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1188 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1188 is only divisible by 1 and 1188, then it is a prime number, and if 1188 is divisible by more than 1188 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1188 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 27, 33, 36, 44, 54, 66, 99, 108, 132, 198, 297, 396, 594, 1188
Therefore, since 1188 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1188 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
