To determine if 2318 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2318.
If the factors of 2318 are only 2318 and 1, then we know that 2318 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2318 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2318 is only divisible by 1 and 2318, then it is a prime number, and if 2318 is divisible by more than 2318 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2318 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 61, 122, 1159, 2318
Therefore, since 2318 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2318 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
