To determine if 2047 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2047.
If the factors of 2047 are only 2047 and 1, then we know that 2047 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2047 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2047 is only divisible by 1 and 2047, then it is a prime number, and if 2047 is divisible by more than 2047 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2047 are as follows:
1, 23, 89, 2047
Therefore, since 2047 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2047 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2048 prime or composite?
