To determine if 1226 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1226.
If the factors of 1226 are only 1226 and 1, then we know that 1226 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1226 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1226 is only divisible by 1 and 1226, then it is a prime number, and if 1226 is divisible by more than 1226 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1226 are as follows:
1, 2, 613, 1226
Therefore, since 1226 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1226 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1227 prime or composite?
