To determine if 2068 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2068.
If the factors of 2068 are only 2068 and 1, then we know that 2068 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2068 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2068 is only divisible by 1 and 2068, then it is a prime number, and if 2068 is divisible by more than 2068 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2068 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 47, 94, 188, 517, 1034, 2068
Therefore, since 2068 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2068 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2069 prime or composite?
