To determine if 2112 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2112.
If the factors of 2112 are only 2112 and 1, then we know that 2112 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2112 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2112 is only divisible by 1 and 2112, then it is a prime number, and if 2112 is divisible by more than 2112 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2112 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16, 22, 24, 32, 33, 44, 48, 64, 66, 88, 96, 132, 176, 192, 264, 352, 528, 704, 1056, 2112
Therefore, since 2112 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2112 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
