To determine if 2322 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2322.
If the factors of 2322 are only 2322 and 1, then we know that 2322 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2322 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2322 is only divisible by 1 and 2322, then it is a prime number, and if 2322 is divisible by more than 2322 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2322 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 43, 54, 86, 129, 258, 387, 774, 1161, 2322
Therefore, since 2322 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2322 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2323 prime or composite?
