To determine if 2209 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2209.
If the factors of 2209 are only 2209 and 1, then we know that 2209 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2209 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2209 is only divisible by 1 and 2209, then it is a prime number, and if 2209 is divisible by more than 2209 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2209 are as follows:
