To determine if 2303 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2303.
If the factors of 2303 are only 2303 and 1, then we know that 2303 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2303 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2303 is only divisible by 1 and 2303, then it is a prime number, and if 2303 is divisible by more than 2303 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2303 are as follows:
1, 7, 47, 49, 329, 2303
Therefore, since 2303 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2303 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2304 prime or composite?
