To determine if 1195 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1195.
If the factors of 1195 are only 1195 and 1, then we know that 1195 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1195 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1195 is only divisible by 1 and 1195, then it is a prime number, and if 1195 is divisible by more than 1195 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1195 are as follows:
1, 5, 239, 1195
Therefore, since 1195 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1195 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
