To determine if 2102 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2102.
If the factors of 2102 are only 2102 and 1, then we know that 2102 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2102 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2102 is only divisible by 1 and 2102, then it is a prime number, and if 2102 is divisible by more than 2102 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2102 are as follows:
1, 2, 1051, 2102
Therefore, since 2102 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2102 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2103 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2102 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.
