To determine if 2308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2308.
If the factors of 2308 are only 2308 and 1, then we know that 2308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2308 is only divisible by 1 and 2308, then it is a prime number, and if 2308 is divisible by more than 2308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2308 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 577, 1154, 2308
Therefore, since 2308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
