To determine if 1198 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1198.
If the factors of 1198 are only 1198 and 1, then we know that 1198 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1198 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1198 is only divisible by 1 and 1198, then it is a prime number, and if 1198 is divisible by more than 1198 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1198 are as follows:
