To determine if 2114 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2114.
If the factors of 2114 are only 2114 and 1, then we know that 2114 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2114 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2114 is only divisible by 1 and 2114, then it is a prime number, and if 2114 is divisible by more than 2114 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2114 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 151, 302, 1057, 2114
Therefore, since 2114 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2114 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
