To determine if 2061 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2061.
If the factors of 2061 are only 2061 and 1, then we know that 2061 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2061 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2061 is only divisible by 1 and 2061, then it is a prime number, and if 2061 is divisible by more than 2061 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2061 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 229, 687, 2061
Therefore, since 2061 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2061 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2062 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2061 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.
