To determine if 2311 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2311.
If the factors of 2311 are only 2311 and 1, then we know that 2311 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2311 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2311 is only divisible by 1 and 2311, then it is a prime number, and if 2311 is divisible by more than 2311 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2311 are as follows:
1, 2311
Therefore, since 2311 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2311 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
