To determine if 2277 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2277.
If the factors of 2277 are only 2277 and 1, then we know that 2277 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2277 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2277 is only divisible by 1 and 2277, then it is a prime number, and if 2277 is divisible by more than 2277 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2277 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 23, 33, 69, 99, 207, 253, 759, 2277
Therefore, since 2277 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2277 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
