To determine if 2058 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2058.
If the factors of 2058 are only 2058 and 1, then we know that 2058 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2058 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2058 is only divisible by 1 and 2058, then it is a prime number, and if 2058 is divisible by more than 2058 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2058 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294, 343, 686, 1029, 2058
Therefore, since 2058 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2058 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2059 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2058 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.
