To determine if 2133 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2133.
If the factors of 2133 are only 2133 and 1, then we know that 2133 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2133 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2133 is only divisible by 1 and 2133, then it is a prime number, and if 2133 is divisible by more than 2133 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2133 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 79, 237, 711, 2133
Therefore, since 2133 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2133 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2134 prime or composite?
