To determine if 2037 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2037.
If the factors of 2037 are only 2037 and 1, then we know that 2037 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2037 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2037 is only divisible by 1 and 2037, then it is a prime number, and if 2037 is divisible by more than 2037 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2037 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 97, 291, 679, 2037
Therefore, since 2037 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2037 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2038 prime or composite?
