To determine if 2210 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2210.
If the factors of 2210 are only 2210 and 1, then we know that 2210 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2210 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2210 is only divisible by 1 and 2210, then it is a prime number, and if 2210 is divisible by more than 2210 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2210 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 17, 26, 34, 65, 85, 130, 170, 221, 442, 1105, 2210
Therefore, since 2210 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2210 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2211 prime or composite?
