To determine if 2109 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2109.
If the factors of 2109 are only 2109 and 1, then we know that 2109 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2109 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2109 is only divisible by 1 and 2109, then it is a prime number, and if 2109 is divisible by more than 2109 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2109 are as follows:
1, 3, 19, 37, 57, 111, 703, 2109
Therefore, since 2109 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2109 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
