To determine if 2077 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2077.
If the factors of 2077 are only 2077 and 1, then we know that 2077 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2077 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2077 is only divisible by 1 and 2077, then it is a prime number, and if 2077 is divisible by more than 2077 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2077 are as follows:
1, 31, 67, 2077
Therefore, since 2077 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2077 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2078 prime or composite?
