To determine if 2212 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2212.
If the factors of 2212 are only 2212 and 1, then we know that 2212 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2212 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2212 is only divisible by 1 and 2212, then it is a prime number, and if 2212 is divisible by more than 2212 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2212 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 79, 158, 316, 553, 1106, 2212
Therefore, since 2212 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2212 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2213 prime or composite?
