To determine if 2251 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2251.
If the factors of 2251 are only 2251 and 1, then we know that 2251 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2251 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2251 is only divisible by 1 and 2251, then it is a prime number, and if 2251 is divisible by more than 2251 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2251 are as follows:
