To determine if 2062 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2062.
If the factors of 2062 are only 2062 and 1, then we know that 2062 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2062 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2062 is only divisible by 1 and 2062, then it is a prime number, and if 2062 is divisible by more than 2062 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2062 are as follows:
1, 2, 1031, 2062
Therefore, since 2062 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2062 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2063 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2062 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.
