To determine if 2204 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2204.
If the factors of 2204 are only 2204 and 1, then we know that 2204 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2204 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2204 is only divisible by 1 and 2204, then it is a prime number, and if 2204 is divisible by more than 2204 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2204 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 29, 38, 58, 76, 116, 551, 1102, 2204
Therefore, since 2204 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2204 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
