To determine if 2271 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2271.
If the factors of 2271 are only 2271 and 1, then we know that 2271 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2271 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2271 is only divisible by 1 and 2271, then it is a prime number, and if 2271 is divisible by more than 2271 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2271 are as follows:
1, 3, 757, 2271
Therefore, since 2271 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2271 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2272 prime or composite?
