To determine if 2248 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2248.
If the factors of 2248 are only 2248 and 1, then we know that 2248 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2248 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2248 is only divisible by 1 and 2248, then it is a prime number, and if 2248 is divisible by more than 2248 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2248 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 281, 562, 1124, 2248
