To determine if 2324 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2324.
If the factors of 2324 are only 2324 and 1, then we know that 2324 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2324 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2324 is only divisible by 1 and 2324, then it is a prime number, and if 2324 is divisible by more than 2324 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2324 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 83, 166, 332, 581, 1162, 2324
Therefore, since 2324 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2324 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2325 prime or composite?
