To determine if 2233 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2233.
If the factors of 2233 are only 2233 and 1, then we know that 2233 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2233 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2233 is only divisible by 1 and 2233, then it is a prime number, and if 2233 is divisible by more than 2233 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2233 are as follows:
1, 7, 11, 29, 77, 203, 319, 2233
Therefore, since 2233 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2233 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
