To determine if 2241 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2241.
If the factors of 2241 are only 2241 and 1, then we know that 2241 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2241 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2241 is only divisible by 1 and 2241, then it is a prime number, and if 2241 is divisible by more than 2241 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2241 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 83, 249, 747, 2241
Therefore, since 2241 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2241 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2242 prime or composite?
