To determine if 2084 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2084.
If the factors of 2084 are only 2084 and 1, then we know that 2084 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2084 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2084 is only divisible by 1 and 2084, then it is a prime number, and if 2084 is divisible by more than 2084 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2084 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 521, 1042, 2084
Therefore, since 2084 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2084 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2085 prime or composite?
