To determine if 2022 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2022.
If the factors of 2022 are only 2022 and 1, then we know that 2022 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2022 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2022 is only divisible by 1 and 2022, then it is a prime number, and if 2022 is divisible by more than 2022 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2022 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 337, 674, 1011, 2022
Therefore, since 2022 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2022 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2023 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2022 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
