To determine if 2328 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2328.
If the factors of 2328 are only 2328 and 1, then we know that 2328 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2328 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2328 is only divisible by 1 and 2328, then it is a prime number, and if 2328 is divisible by more than 2328 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2328 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 97, 194, 291, 388, 582, 776, 1164, 2328
Therefore, since 2328 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2328 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2329 prime or composite?
