To determine if 1199 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1199.
If the factors of 1199 are only 1199 and 1, then we know that 1199 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1199 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1199 is only divisible by 1 and 1199, then it is a prime number, and if 1199 is divisible by more than 1199 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1199 are as follows:
1, 11, 109, 1199
Therefore, since 1199 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1199 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
