To determine if 2295 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2295.
If the factors of 2295 are only 2295 and 1, then we know that 2295 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2295 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2295 is only divisible by 1 and 2295, then it is a prime number, and if 2295 is divisible by more than 2295 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2295 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 17, 27, 45, 51, 85, 135, 153, 255, 459, 765, 2295
Therefore, since 2295 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2295 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2296 prime or composite?
