To determine if 2288 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2288.
If the factors of 2288 are only 2288 and 1, then we know that 2288 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2288 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2288 is only divisible by 1 and 2288, then it is a prime number, and if 2288 is divisible by more than 2288 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2288 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 13, 16, 22, 26, 44, 52, 88, 104, 143, 176, 208, 286, 572, 1144, 2288
Therefore, since 2288 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2288 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
