To determine if 2314 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2314.
If the factors of 2314 are only 2314 and 1, then we know that 2314 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2314 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2314 is only divisible by 1 and 2314, then it is a prime number, and if 2314 is divisible by more than 2314 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2314 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 89, 178, 1157, 2314
Therefore, since 2314 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2314 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
