To determine if 2323 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2323.
If the factors of 2323 are only 2323 and 1, then we know that 2323 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2323 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2323 is only divisible by 1 and 2323, then it is a prime number, and if 2323 is divisible by more than 2323 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2323 are as follows:
1, 23, 101, 2323
Therefore, since 2323 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2323 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2324 prime or composite?
