To determine if 2031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2031.
If the factors of 2031 are only 2031 and 1, then we know that 2031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2031 is only divisible by 1 and 2031, then it is a prime number, and if 2031 is divisible by more than 2031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2031 are as follows:
1, 3, 677, 2031
Therefore, since 2031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2032 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2031 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.
