To determine if 2300 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2300.
If the factors of 2300 are only 2300 and 1, then we know that 2300 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2300 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2300 is only divisible by 1 and 2300, then it is a prime number, and if 2300 is divisible by more than 2300 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2300 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 25, 46, 50, 92, 100, 115, 230, 460, 575, 1150, 2300
Therefore, since 2300 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2300 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2301 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2300 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
