To determine if 2228 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2228.
If the factors of 2228 are only 2228 and 1, then we know that 2228 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2228 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2228 is only divisible by 1 and 2228, then it is a prime number, and if 2228 is divisible by more than 2228 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2228 are as follows:
