To determine if 2183 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2183.
If the factors of 2183 are only 2183 and 1, then we know that 2183 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2183 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2183 is only divisible by 1 and 2183, then it is a prime number, and if 2183 is divisible by more than 2183 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2183 are as follows:
