To determine if 2310 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2310.
If the factors of 2310 are only 2310 and 1, then we know that 2310 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2310 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2310 is only divisible by 1 and 2310, then it is a prime number, and if 2310 is divisible by more than 2310 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2310 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 21, 22, 30, 33, 35, 42, 55, 66, 70, 77, 105, 110, 154, 165, 210, 231, 330, 385, 462, 770, 1155, 2310
Therefore, since 2310 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2310 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2311 prime or composite?
