To determine if 2268 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2268.
If the factors of 2268 are only 2268 and 1, then we know that 2268 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2268 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2268 is only divisible by 1 and 2268, then it is a prime number, and if 2268 is divisible by more than 2268 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2268 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 27, 28, 36, 42, 54, 63, 81, 84, 108, 126, 162, 189, 252, 324, 378, 567, 756, 1134, 2268
Therefore, since 2268 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2268 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
