The number 119 is a composite number, not a prime number. This is because it has more factors than just 1 and itself. To find out if 119 is prime or composite, we can try to divide it by prime numbers smaller than it.
When we divide 119 by 7, we find that 7 × 17 = 119. Both 7 and 17 are prime numbers. Therefore, 7 and 17 are prime factors of 119, confirming that 119 is a composite number.
