To determine if 2247 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2247.
If the factors of 2247 are only 2247 and 1, then we know that 2247 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2247 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2247 is only divisible by 1 and 2247, then it is a prime number, and if 2247 is divisible by more than 2247 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2247 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 107, 321, 749, 2247
