To determine if 2265 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2265.
If the factors of 2265 are only 2265 and 1, then we know that 2265 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2265 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2265 is only divisible by 1 and 2265, then it is a prime number, and if 2265 is divisible by more than 2265 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2265 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 151, 453, 755, 2265
Therefore, since 2265 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2265 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
