To determine if 2195 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2195.
If the factors of 2195 are only 2195 and 1, then we know that 2195 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2195 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2195 is only divisible by 1 and 2195, then it is a prime number, and if 2195 is divisible by more than 2195 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2195 are as follows:
