To determine if 2167 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2167.
If the factors of 2167 are only 2167 and 1, then we know that 2167 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2167 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2167 is only divisible by 1 and 2167, then it is a prime number, and if 2167 is divisible by more than 2167 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2167 are as follows:
1, 11, 197, 2167
Therefore, since 2167 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2167 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
