To determine if 2201 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2201.
If the factors of 2201 are only 2201 and 1, then we know that 2201 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2201 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2201 is only divisible by 1 and 2201, then it is a prime number, and if 2201 is divisible by more than 2201 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2201 are as follows:
1, 31, 71, 2201
Therefore, since 2201 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2201 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2202 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2201 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
