To determine if 2051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2051.
If the factors of 2051 are only 2051 and 1, then we know that 2051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2051 is only divisible by 1 and 2051, then it is a prime number, and if 2051 is divisible by more than 2051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2051 are as follows:
1, 7, 293, 2051
Therefore, since 2051 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2051 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2052 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2051 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.
