To determine if 2054 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2054.
If the factors of 2054 are only 2054 and 1, then we know that 2054 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2054 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2054 is only divisible by 1 and 2054, then it is a prime number, and if 2054 is divisible by more than 2054 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2054 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 79, 158, 1027, 2054
Therefore, since 2054 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2054 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2055 prime or composite?
