To determine if 2326 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2326.
If the factors of 2326 are only 2326 and 1, then we know that 2326 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2326 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2326 is only divisible by 1 and 2326, then it is a prime number, and if 2326 is divisible by more than 2326 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2326 are as follows:
1, 2, 1163, 2326
Therefore, since 2326 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2326 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
