To determine if 2224 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2224.
If the factors of 2224 are only 2224 and 1, then we know that 2224 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2224 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2224 is only divisible by 1 and 2224, then it is a prime number, and if 2224 is divisible by more than 2224 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2224 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 139, 278, 556, 1112, 2224
Therefore, since 2224 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2224 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
