To determine if 2206 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2206.
If the factors of 2206 are only 2206 and 1, then we know that 2206 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2206 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2206 is only divisible by 1 and 2206, then it is a prime number, and if 2206 is divisible by more than 2206 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2206 are as follows:
1, 2, 1103, 2206
Therefore, since 2206 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2206 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2207 prime or composite?
