To determine if 1189 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1189.
If the factors of 1189 are only 1189 and 1, then we know that 1189 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1189 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1189 is only divisible by 1 and 1189, then it is a prime number, and if 1189 is divisible by more than 1189 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1189 are as follows:
1, 29, 41, 1189
Therefore, since 1189 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1189 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
