To determine if 2244 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2244.
If the factors of 2244 are only 2244 and 1, then we know that 2244 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2244 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2244 is only divisible by 1 and 2244, then it is a prime number, and if 2244 is divisible by more than 2244 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2244 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 17, 22, 33, 34, 44, 51, 66, 68, 102, 132, 187, 204, 374, 561, 748, 1122, 2244
Therefore, since 2244 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2244 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
