To determine if 2214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2214.
If the factors of 2214 are only 2214 and 1, then we know that 2214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2214 is only divisible by 1 and 2214, then it is a prime number, and if 2214 is divisible by more than 2214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2214 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 41, 54, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738, 1107, 2214
Therefore, since 2214 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2214 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2215 prime or composite?
