To determine if 2030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2030.
If the factors of 2030 are only 2030 and 1, then we know that 2030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2030 is only divisible by 1 and 2030, then it is a prime number, and if 2030 is divisible by more than 2030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2030 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 29, 35, 58, 70, 145, 203, 290, 406, 1015, 2030
Therefore, since 2030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2031 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2030 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.
