To determine if 2304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2304.
If the factors of 2304 are only 2304 and 1, then we know that 2304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2304 is only divisible by 1 and 2304, then it is a prime number, and if 2304 is divisible by more than 2304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2304 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72, 96, 128, 144, 192, 256, 288, 384, 576, 768, 1152, 2304
Therefore, since 2304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
