To determine if 2211 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2211.
If the factors of 2211 are only 2211 and 1, then we know that 2211 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2211 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2211 is only divisible by 1 and 2211, then it is a prime number, and if 2211 is divisible by more than 2211 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2211 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 67, 201, 737, 2211
Therefore, since 2211 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2211 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2212 prime or composite?
