To determine if 2122 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2122.
If the factors of 2122 are only 2122 and 1, then we know that 2122 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2122 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2122 is only divisible by 1 and 2122, then it is a prime number, and if 2122 is divisible by more than 2122 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2122 are as follows:
1, 2, 1061, 2122
Therefore, since 2122 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2122 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2123 prime or composite?
