To determine if 2032 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2032.
If the factors of 2032 are only 2032 and 1, then we know that 2032 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2032 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2032 is only divisible by 1 and 2032, then it is a prime number, and if 2032 is divisible by more than 2032 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2032 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032
Therefore, since 2032 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2032 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2033 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2032 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.
