To determine if 2274 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2274.
If the factors of 2274 are only 2274 and 1, then we know that 2274 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2274 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2274 is only divisible by 1 and 2274, then it is a prime number, and if 2274 is divisible by more than 2274 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2274 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 379, 758, 1137, 2274
Therefore, since 2274 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
