To determine if 2027 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2027.
If the factors of 2027 are only 2027 and 1, then we know that 2027 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2027 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2027 is only divisible by 1 and 2027, then it is a prime number, and if 2027 is divisible by more than 2027 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2027 are as follows:
1, 2027
Therefore, since 2027 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2027 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
