To determine if 2071 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2071.
If the factors of 2071 are only 2071 and 1, then we know that 2071 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2071 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2071 is only divisible by 1 and 2071, then it is a prime number, and if 2071 is divisible by more than 2071 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2071 are as follows:
1, 19, 109, 2071
Therefore, since 2071 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2071 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2072 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2071 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.
