To determine if 2305 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2305.
If the factors of 2305 are only 2305 and 1, then we know that 2305 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2305 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2305 is only divisible by 1 and 2305, then it is a prime number, and if 2305 is divisible by more than 2305 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2305 are as follows:
1, 5, 461, 2305
Therefore, since 2305 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2305 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2306 prime or composite?
