To determine if 2076 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2076.
If the factors of 2076 are only 2076 and 1, then we know that 2076 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2076 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2076 is only divisible by 1 and 2076, then it is a prime number, and if 2076 is divisible by more than 2076 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2076 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 173, 346, 519, 692, 1038, 2076
Therefore, since 2076 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2076 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2077 prime or composite?
