To determine if 1332 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1332.
If the factors of 1332 are only 1332 and 1, then we know that 1332 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1332 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1332 is only divisible by 1 and 1332, then it is a prime number, and if 1332 is divisible by more than 1332 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1332 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 333, 444, 666, 1332
Therefore, since 1332 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1332 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1333 prime or composite?
