To determine if 2097 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2097.
If the factors of 2097 are only 2097 and 1, then we know that 2097 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2097 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2097 is only divisible by 1 and 2097, then it is a prime number, and if 2097 is divisible by more than 2097 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2097 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 233, 699, 2097
Therefore, since 2097 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2097 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2098 prime or composite?
