To determine if 2294 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2294.
If the factors of 2294 are only 2294 and 1, then we know that 2294 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2294 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2294 is only divisible by 1 and 2294, then it is a prime number, and if 2294 is divisible by more than 2294 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2294 are as follows:
