Prime numbers have only 1 and the number itself, as factors. They are used in digital security and in securing digital payments. The topics below will help you gain more knowledge on prime numbers and how they are categorized.
The number 1113 has multiple factors that can divide it completely without leaving any remainder. Therefore, the number 1113 is not a prime number. The factors of 1113 include 1, 3, 371, and 1113.
For a number to be a prime number, it should have only 2 factors: 1 and the number itself. Since 1113 has more than 2 factors, it is considered a composite number.
Given below are a few ways that can be used to determine whether a number is prime or composite.
The different methods we can use to check if a number is a prime number are explained below:
For the counting divisors method, it is to be checked whether the number is divisible by any numbers other than 1 and itself.
The counting divisors method for 1113 would be:
Divisors of 1113 = 1, 3, 371, 1113
Number of divisors = 4
Since the number 1113 has more than 2 divisors, it is a composite number.
In the division test, we try to divide the number by any of the prime numbers. If we cannot, then it is considered a prime number.
For 1113, the divisors are 1, 3, 371, and 1113.
Thus, 1113 has 4 factors that divide it completely without any remainder, making it a composite number.
The prime number chart is a list of prime numbers starting from 2 to infinity.
The list of prime numbers under 100 are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
Since 1113 is not present in the chart and is divisible by other numbers apart from 1 and itself, it is not a prime number.
This method is used only for composite numbers. Since 1113 is a composite number, the prime factorization for 1113 is:
Factors of 1113 = 3 × 371
Prime Number: A number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. Numbers like 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers. 1113 is not a prime number because it has more than two divisors.
Divisors: Numbers that divide another number completely without leaving a remainder. For 1113, the divisors are 1, 3, 371, and 1113.
Composite Number: A number greater than 1 that has more than two divisors. Since 1113 has multiple divisors, it is classified as a composite number.
Prime Factorization: The breakdown of a composite number into a product of prime numbers. For 1113, the prime factorization is 3 × 3 × 13 × 19.
Divisibility Test: A method used to check if a number can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder. This is one of the ways to determine if a number is prime or composite.
