To determine if 2134 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2134.
If the factors of 2134 are only 2134 and 1, then we know that 2134 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2134 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2134 is only divisible by 1 and 2134, then it is a prime number, and if 2134 is divisible by more than 2134 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2134 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 97, 194, 1067, 2134
Therefore, since 2134 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2134 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
