To determine if 2104 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2104.
If the factors of 2104 are only 2104 and 1, then we know that 2104 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2104 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2104 is only divisible by 1 and 2104, then it is a prime number, and if 2104 is divisible by more than 2104 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2104 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 263, 526, 1052, 2104
Therefore, since 2104 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2104 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
