Now here’s some information about the number 1148:

• 1148 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 1148 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 41, which can be written 1148 = 2² × 7 × 41
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 2, 1, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12. Therefore 1148 has exactly 12 factors.
• Factors of 1148: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 41, 82, 164, 287, 574, 1148
• Factor pairs: 1148 = 1 × 1148, 2 × 574, 4 × 287, 7 × 164, 14 × 82, or 28 × 41
• Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √1148 = (√4)(√287) = 2√287 ≈ 33.88215

1148 is the sum of two consecutive primes:
571 + 577 = 1148

1148 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
