To determine if 2049 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2049.
If the factors of 2049 are only 2049 and 1, then we know that 2049 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2049 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2049 is only divisible by 1 and 2049, then it is a prime number, and if 2049 is divisible by more than 2049 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2049 are as follows:
1, 3, 683, 2049
Therefore, since 2049 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2049 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
